Neuromonitoring During Cardiac Surgery in a Patient with Ventriculo-Caval Shunt Migration: Case Report
Abstract
Ventricular shunting is a well-recognised and commonly practiced method of reducing increased intracranial pressure in patients with neurologic pathology. There are possible complications related to shunt implantation, where the rarest is intracardiac migration of the distal shunt catheter. We present a case where the distal catheter migrated into the right ventricle, causing extrasystoles and was complicated with acute right ventricle failure during the endovascular shunt evacuation procedure.
