摘要: ✓ A method of regulating flow rate through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts with the addition a flow-regulating device (FRD) is reported. The FRD consists small-caliber (0.4 mm) Teflon tube placed in usual connector. This has advantage converting original shunt valves to for higher-resistance without replacing entire distal catheter. An experimental study revealed that this reduced CSF system by approximately 30%. author found it reliable 32 patients, causing obstruction. easily installed and removed.
