Cases analysis and management strategies for ventricular shunt failure in hydrocephalus
VA shunting is a safe and effective salvage procedure for patients with VP shunt failure attributable to peritoneal complications. Furthermore, these cases demonstrate that the peritoneal cavity can recover over time, allowing for successful VP shunt reimplantation if distal catheter failure recurs. A dynamic and individualized management strategy is essential for complex hydrocephalus cases.
