A bedside alternative to the LeVeen peritoneovenous shunt for the management of ascites is described. The bedside technique has several advantages over the LeVeen shunt, including ease of insertion and lower cost. In addition, the bedside shunt provides precise control over the volume of ascites infused into the vascular space and aids in the timing of diuretic administration. The bedside system may be definitive short-term therapy for ascites, or it could predict which patient will respond successfully to a LeVeen shunt.
本文描述了一种用于治疗腹水的床边替代LeVeen腹腔静脉分流术的方法。与LeVeen分流术相比，这种床边技术具有多个优点，包括易于插入和成本较低。此外，床边分流术可精确控制注入血管空间的腹水量，并有助于确定利尿剂的给药时机。床边系统可能是腹水的确定性短期治疗方法，或者它可以预测哪些患者对LeVeen分流术会有成功反应。
