  • Title: [Chronic pulmonary heart disease during ventriculo-atrial shunts in children].
    Author: Normand J, Gilly R, Loire R, Lapras C, Bozio A, Gidrol C.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1976 Dec; 69(12):1293-6. PubMed ID: 827266.
    Abstract:
    This grave complication is a major cause of mortality in ventriculo-atrial shunts in children with hydrocephalus. It occurs at a much higher rate than with long-term indwelling intracavitary pacemakers, which suggests that the shunt procedure is responsible for either chronic infection or the introduction of cerebral thromboplastin.
