Optimal valve pressure for ventriculoatrial shunt in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: A retrospective study of 54 cases
Unlike VPS or LPS, optimal VAS pressure converges at low settings (10-40 mmH₂O) and is independent of body habitus. VAS may therefore be a particularly effective option in obese or elderly patients.
