  • Title: Follow-up analysis of ventriculoperitoneal and ventriculoatrial shunts for hydrocephalus.
    Author: Ignelzi RJ, Kirsch WM.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1975 Jun; 42(6):679-82. PubMed ID: 1141964.
    Abstract:
    The authors report an analysis of 300 patients in whom primary treatment for hydrocephalus was either a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) or ventriculoatrial (VA) shunt. Although differences in primary and total revision rates between placements were not statistically significant, the VA shunt failures carried a higher morbidity than the VP placements.
