  • Title: Flow-directed atrial catheter placement for ventriculoatrial shunts: technical note.
    Author: Barker FG, Tatter SB.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1994 Sep; 35(3):534-5; discussion 535-6. PubMed ID: 7800150.
    Abstract:
    The placement of the atrial portion of a ventriculoatrial shunt is occasionally rendered difficult by a tendency of the shunt catheter to pass into the contralateral jugular vein or into a subclavian vein instead of into the atrium. We report a simple flow-directed technique that may resolve this problem.
