    Author: Thompson DN, Casey AT, Hayward RD, Harkness WF.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1995 Jan; 82(1):140-1. PubMed ID: 7815120.
    Abstract:
    A combined radiological and surgical technique that permits identification of appropriate recipient vessels and accurate placement of the atrial catheter in ventriculoatrial shunts is described. The procedure uses readily available radiological skills and reduces operation time and morbidity related to malpositioning of the distal catheter.
