No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Programmable valve (PV) has been shown as a solution to the high revision rate in pediatric hydrocephalus patients, but it remains controversial among adults. This study is to compare the overall revision rate, revision cause, and revision-free survival between PV and non-programmable valve (NPV) in adult patients with different hydrocephalus etiologies.

Conditions

  • Hydrocephalus
  • Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Malfunction

Interventions

DEVICE

Programmable valve

Programmable valve used in the study included Medtronic Strata, B-Braun ProGav, Codman Certas.

DEVICE

Non-programmable valve

Non-programmable valve used in the study was Medtronic CSF-flow control valve.
