Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections are a significant complication associated with the surgical placement of shunts, which are devices used to manage conditions like hydrocephalus.

Objectives To determine current epidemiology and clinical characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt surgery, including revisions. Methods A retrospective, multicentre, registry-based study ...

These catheters are used in shunt systems to facilitate the drainage of excess CSF, thereby alleviating pressure on the brain. However, one of the significant challenges in the use of ventricular ...

The treatment for INPH is surgical diversion of CSF. This is accomplished by implanting a shunt to drain CSF from either the intracranial ventricular system or the lumbar subarachnoid space to a ...

BACKGROUND--Prosthetic infections are a major problem, requiring complex and lengthy management. The role of blood proteins in the pathogenesis of implant infection has been investigated, but research ...

The global hydrocephalus shunt market is poised for steady expansion, with Future Market Insights (FMI) projecting a market ...

It includes an endovascularly implantable cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) shunt and delivery components, featuring a self-expanding nitinol anchor. The IDE study, evaluating eShunt’s safety and ...

Ventricular CSF was collected from control patients undergoing shunt placement for normal pressure hydrocephalus. C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), ...

The researchers are developing the low-profile shunt to treat fetal hydrocephalus, a condition involving the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in or around the brain. According to the University of ...

Prior to surgery, patients underwent comprehensive imaging evaluations and received endoscopic third ventriculostomy rather ... An endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was performed using a flexible ...
