Comparative Efficacy of Ventriculosubgaleal Shunt Versus Ventricular Reservoir in Achieving Shunt Independence for Infants With Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus by 6 Months
This study highlights a significant reduction in the need for permanent shunt placement within 6 months for post-IVH in premature infants who underwent VSGS vs VAD, suggesting that VSGS may be a more favorable temporizing procedure for managing PHH in this vulnerable population.
