“…In 13 cases, migration of devices for the treatment of hydrocephalus was found. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Migrated ventriculo-atrial shunts commonly occur many years after the insertion. In 2 of 4 patients with migrated ventriculo-atrial catheter severe tricuspid stenosis may occur.…”

“…Trombose venosa e infecção, como meningite (mais precoce) e endocardite (mais tardia), ainda parecem ser as mais importantes, mas há também relatos de defeitos de válvula tricúspide, calcificação e perfuração da parede cardíaca, decorrentes do contato direto do cateter com o miocárdio, além de complicações associadas à técnica de punção venosa, como o pneumotórax. 1,2…”

“…A via vascular é um importante método para as derivações ventriculares no tratamento de hidrocefalia, todavia seu maior potencial de complicação e o advento e aperfeiçoamento da via peritoneal reservaram a via venosa a casos restritos, tanto em adultos quanto em crianças. [1][2][3] Dissecção venosa cervical foi o método inicialmente descrito para inserção do cateter distal, e dificuldades anatômicas podem aumentar o tempo cirúrgico por esse método.³ Este trabalho descreve um método de inserção do cateter distal de derivação ventriculoatrial (DVA) por punção venosa cervical direta, sem necessidade de dissecção.…”

ResumoDescrição passo a passo de técnica de derivação ventriculoatrial utilizando punção cervical percutânea por técnica de Seldinger. O objetivo é demonstrar e difundir entre os neurocirurgiões brasileiros uma forma alternativa segura, rápida e eficaz de introdução e instalação de cateter venoso até o átrio direito, sem necessidade de dissecção venosa convencional. São vantagens a redução do tempo cirúrgico e o melhor resultado cosmético, sem aumento significativo do custo.

“…Two commonly used other loci, the right atrium and gallbladder, have their own problems. 1,3,9,17,19,22 Vascular shunts have the problem of malposition as a child grows, septicemia in the setting of infection, and intracardiac migration of the distal catheter in the event of distal catheter fracture. 2,7 Placing a shunt into the gallbladder is technically more complicated.…”

Object Cerebrospinal fluid diversion to the pleural space has employed various methods to insert the distal catheter into the pleural space. The authors report on a minimally invasive method of pleural catheter insertion that they have developed and have used safely in a small series of patients. Methods Pleural shunt catheters were inserted using a split trochar into the pleural space (technique described in further detail in the article). All cases over the previous 10 years in which this technique was employed were reviewed from the existing electronic medical records. Patient age at insertion, sex, reason for hydrocephalus, early and late complications, valve type, and follow-up were recorded. Results Fourteen shunt procedures performed in 10 patients were identified. Two small pneumothoraces were detected on routine postoperative imaging and required no intervention. There were 3 late mechanical complications, including migration of a catheter out of the pleural space, catheter fracture at the insertion point, and the need for a longer catheter due to the patient's growth. Conclusions The authors describe a safe, minimally invasive method for insertion of pleural shunt catheters along with a series of patients who have undergone placement of a pleural shunt catheter using this method without complication directly attributable to the use of this technique.
