Outcome of Proximal Ventricular Catheter Placement in Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Operations using the Parietal Approach.
Conclusion: Overlong ventricular catheter and large ventricular size were significant variables in poor placement outcomes in the present study. Pre-operative planning from CT or MRI can be used to determine the optimal length in order to improve
the outcomes.
