Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Overdrainage Has Transient and Steady-State Components Strongly Dependent on Cerebroventricular Compliance: A Benchtop Experimental Study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Using benchtop testing, we previously demonstrated that ventriculoperitoneal shunts are susceptible to chronic overdrainage, not only because of a siphoning effect but also because of intracranial pressure pulsations. These pulsations may be rhythmic (c...
