Abstract

AIM: Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunting is a well-described cerebrospinal fluid diversion method for the treatment of hydrocephalus.However, it may be very challenging in infants and little children because of atrial catheter placement difficulties. This study aimedto create an algorithm to solve problems faced during open surgical procedures based on the present authors’ experience.MATERIAL and METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis on 18 infants and children who underwent VA shunt insertion atthe Department of Neurosurgery, Ondokuz Mayis University School of Medicine Hospital between 2005 and 2012. Complications,clinical outcomes, revisions, and solutions for overcoming distal catheter placement difficulties were evaluated.RESULTS: Twenty-six VA shunt operations were performed in 18 patients. Six patients required eight VA shunt revisions. VAshunting was primarily performed from the internal jugular, facial, cephalic, and subclavian veins to the right atrium. In revisionprocedures, the internal jugular, cephalic, and subclavian veins were used.CONCLUSION: VA shunting in infants and little children requires careful surgical techniques. Neurosurgeons should necessarilyhave an appropriate strategy for VA shunting considering the complications and revisions. Our results suggest open surgicalsolutions to overcome distal catheter placement difficulties in this age group.
