Weights of heart ventricles in children with hydrocephalus treated with ventriculo-caval shunts.

Weights of heart ventricles in children with hydrocephalus treated with ventriculo-caval shunts.

The introduction of an effective valve system enabling the long-term shunting of cerebrospinal fluid from the cerebral ventricles into the right atrium of the heart was a turning point in the treatment of children with congenital hydrocephalus. It has transformed a mortality rate of about 80 per cent to a survival rate of approximately that figure. Within months of the introduction of this trea...

Hydrocephalus: electrocardiographic localization of the catheter in ventriculo-atrial shunts.

Among the surgical methods used in the treatment of hydrocephalus, procedures in which the cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricular system is drained through a valve directly into the venous side of the systemic circulation are now well established. However, the advantages of a low operative mortality and a high initial rate of success in the control of the hydrocephalus must be weighed against...

ventriculo-atrial shunts

SYNOPSIS Micrococcaceae isolated from the shunt, ventricles, and bloodstream of children with colonized ventriculo-venous shunts were classified within the scheme of Baird-Parker (1963). With one exception, all belonged to subgroup II of the genus Staphylococcus; tests were therefore devised for division within this subgroup, and results are reported in 30 cases from this and other hospitals. S...
