Stented endoscopic third ventriculostomy: technique, safety, and indications—a multicenter multinational study
Stented ETV appears to be feasible and safe. It may be indicated in selected cases such as patients with prior ETV failure, or as a primary treatment in cases with anatomical alterations caused by tumors or thickened tuber cinereum. Future investigations are needed to further elucidate its role in non-communicating hydrocephalus.
