Abstract
A thin-walled atrial catheter used in shunting for hydrocephalus may become curled or kinked in the neck after it has been in normal position and functioning for years. The usual cause is a bout of severe coughing. Such a case is described together with a percutaneous method of restoration of the shunt by transfemoral catheterization utilizing a wire loop.Entities:
