Assessment of peritoneojugular shunts by direct roentgenographic examination
Abstract
The silicone rubber tubing of the LeVeen peritoneojugular shunt can be safely punctured with a 23 gauge needle. Radiopaque contrast material can be injected through the needle to delineate the cause of any obstruction to the venous tubing.
