Ventriculoatrial shunting (VAS) is a procedure that allows the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow from the brain to the atrium of the heart. This procedure is typically used to treat a condition called hydrocephalus. This condition occurs when there is excess CSF in the brain.

Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunts are provided to transfer cerebrospinal fluid from the cerebral ventricle into the right atrium of the heart. A single center experience of indications, procedure, and clinical outcomes in VA shunt was presented in current study.

2025年1月13日 · Ventriculoatrial shunting is an alternative option for the diversion of CSF and relief of hydrocephalus. In this technique, the distal catheter is placed in the right atrium or even in the superior vena cava 1,2.

2025年1月8日 · A ventriculoatrial shunt is used to treat hydrocephalus by diverting excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain to the heart. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks and potential complications.

2024年2月20日 · Ventriculoatrial shunt placement enables cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow from the cerebral ventricular system to the atrium of the heart. Ventriculoatrial shunt placement is indicated for...

2022年2月1日 · Herein we reviewed the technical aspects of ventriculoatrial shunt placement using an illustrative case. We focused on the different modalities for inserting and confirming the location of the distal catheter tip.

VPL (ventriculopleural) shunts divert excess brain fluid into the pleural (chest) cavity, which is a space between the chest wall and the lungs. It is lined by a membrane along the chest wall (parietal pleura membrane) and the lung surface (visceral …

2023年11月23日 · Ventriculoatrial shunt (VAS) is the name given to a neurosurgical procedure where an artificial tubular connection is made between the ventricular cavities of the brain and the lumen of the right atrium.
