Background and Aim: The insertion of Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) or Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunt is the first line treatment in patients with hydrocephalus normal-pressure hydrocephalus. provision a safety profile for shunting very important. This study aimed to determine success rates complications VP VA Methods Materials/Patients: systematic review investigated complication managing All publishe...

ABSTRACTThe valves of right horn of systemic venous sinus are prominent structures within the right atrium during early embryonic period. Involution of these structures may not be complete, resulting in a spectrum of anatomical presentations such as cyanosis. A full-term male neonate referred to our hospital for precise evaluation of severe cyanosis on the first day of life. Echocardiographic e...

The interactions of blood flow, A-V O2 difference (AVDO2), and A-V shunting were measured in normal hindlimbs of nine anesthetized dogs. An aorto-iliac nonpulsatile perfusion pump was used to change femoral artery blood flow from zero (collateral flow only) to twice its baseline level. Femoral AVDO2 was measured by in-line spectrophotometric O2 analysis. A-V shunting was measured with radio-lab...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of ventriculoperitoneal shunting during clinical rehabilitation of chronic normal pressure hydrocephalus patients with disorders of consciousness following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients with disorders of consciousness following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage who had underg...

It has been presumed that idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus is due to obstruction. We visualized the ventricles in 19 patients subsequent to shunting. We found no consistent relationship between clinical improvement after shunting and reduction in ventricular size. This suggests that the positive effect of shunting in at least some instances is due to some other factor than reduced ventr...

conclusion the involved liver with hht typically shows vascular shunting and biliary diseases. also, arteriovenous shunts may be vulnerable to biliary diseases. results (i) three types of shunting were found in the livers, including arteriovenous (hepatic artery to hepatic vein) in 6 cases, arterioportal (hepatic artery to portal vein) in 2 cases, and portal venous (portal vein to hepatic vein)...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Controversy continues about the pathogenesis of perioperative stroke in carotid endarterectomy and the use of shunting. The purpose of this study was to determine, using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, the severity of ischemia during clamping of the carotid artery as a basis for analysis of complications in patients operated on with and without shunting. METHODS I...

BACKGROUND Massive liver necrosis, characteristic of acute liver failure, may affect hepatosplanchnic haemodynamics, and contribute to the alterations in renal haemodynamics and function. AIMS To investigate the relation between hepatosplanchnic haemodynamics, including portal systemic shunting, and renal blood flow and function in rats with acute liver failure. METHODS Liver failure was in...
