The Form and Function of Medtronic Delta Shunt Valves

This video discusses the design of the Medtronic Delta valve, with a siphon control device called the Delta Chamber, as well as the CSF pathway through the valve from the ventricular or proximal catheter to the peritoneal or distal catheter.

That Delta mechanism is really clever! I recently learned that the shunt I have is the Delta, and while it hasn't been working for over 10 years now, I wouldn't be very surprised if the failure is in the distal catheter instead of the shunt valve.

The system has been keeping me a live for over 20 years. thank you so much for this.

Kevin Howard hi I have one as well for over 20 years no issues... I think it's malfunctioning now. Heard of any info on this?

[@kevinhoward9593]

ive been having massive migraines for months and I'm waiting for my Neurosurgeon to look at my CT scans to see what to do. I think my shunt pressure is just getting to low for the system to handle. I'm not sure what to tell you about your situation other than to talk to a Neurosurgeon.

Est-il possible de réaliser une IRM avec une valve cérébrale programmable ?
