Endovascular treatment of hydrocephalus: a systematic literature review
Hydrocephalus is traditionally managed with ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS), which is associated with high rates of infection, mechanical failure, and surgical revisions. Recent innovations in endovascular techniques have led to the development of minimally invasive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) div...

| Summary: | Hydrocephalus is traditionally managed with ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS), which is associated with high rates of infection, mechanical failure, and surgical revisions. Recent innovations in endovascular techniques have led to the development of minimally invasive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion techniques. This literature review systematically examines the development, procedural techniques, efficacy, and safety profile of endovascular treatments for communicating hydrocephalus. |
