    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus is a common condition in infants requiring surgical intervention.
    • Ventriculoatrial shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus by draining excess cerebrospinal fluid.
    • Accurate placement of the shunt's cardiac end is critical for effective function and to minimize complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel method for precise cardiac end positioning of ventriculoatrial shunts.
    • To evaluate the safety and accuracy of this echocardiography-assisted technique in infant patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple procedure utilizing echocardiography for guidance during shunt placement.
    • Real-time echocardiographic imaging to confirm the position of the shunt's distal end in the atrium.
