Effect of endoscopic third ventriculostomy on subsequent shunt failure: a Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network study
This analysis demonstrates an association between ETV prior to VPS placement and improved VPS survival, even when controlling for age, comorbid conditions, and hydrocephalus etiology. Further work is needed to understand the mechanism of this effect.
