Programmable (proSA®) vs. fixed (SHUNTASSISTANT®) gravitational valves in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus: a 16-year retrospective single-center comparative study with biomechanical analysis
In pediatric hydrocephalus (HC) treatment, programmable gravitational valves offer greater flexibility to manage overdrainage during children’s growth. However, it remains unclear whether these devices provide better outcomes rather than their precursors. The study assessed the benefit from programm...

| Zusammenfassung: | In pediatric hydrocephalus (HC) treatment, programmable gravitational valves offer greater flexibility to manage overdrainage during children’s growth. However, it remains unclear whether these devices provide better outcomes rather than their precursors. The study assessed the benefit from programmability of gravitational valve, i.e., programmable-SHUNTASSISTANT (proSA®) vs. SHUNTASSISTANT® (SA®). |
