how long do vp shunts last
I am trying to find out what the long term effects are of having a vp shunt in your brain because I have had a few problems the last few years and I am wondering if scartissue forms around the shunt and if that can cause problems. No use asking the dr's.. Hi I am almost 60 and had my vp shunt placed in sept 1998. I never had a revision done and the surgeon told me that I was one in a million. A VP shnt can last a life time.
