OBJECT: The authors studied new and calcified shunt catheters to identify the prevalence of failures caused by aging materials in the shunt. Complications associated with these devices have ...

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 ...

Ventricular catheter placement and shunt management are critical components in the treatment of conditions like hydrocephalus, where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates in the brain's ventricles.
