SmartShunt - Novel monitoring and adaptive CSF shunt system for hydrocephalus patients

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Hydrocephalus in children and adults is treated by shunts diverting CSF to the peritoneal cavity. The 60-year-old technology has high failure rates. The SmartShunt continuously adjusts flow to the patient's need, allows patient and surgeon to interact and monitors intracranial pressure and flow.
