Abstract

The authors describe a simple technique that reduces the incidence of retained ventricular catheters and minimizes the risk of life-threatening intraventricular hemorrhage during the removal of an obstructed, adherent ventricular catheter in patients with hydrocephalus. The technique requires no special equipment and has been successfully used, without complications, in a prospective series of 12 patients with 13 blocked, adherent ventricular catheters.

摘要

作者描述了一种简单的技术，该技术可降低脑积水患者在拔除阻塞性、粘连性脑室导管时脑室导管残留的发生率，并将危及生命的脑室内出血风险降至最低。该技术无需特殊设备，已成功应用于12例患者的13根阻塞性、粘连性脑室导管的前瞻性系列研究中，且无并发症发生。
