Exempel på shunt

• The neurosurgeon can place a shunt to divert spinal fluid under pressure.

• The man had had a shunt inserted into his head to drain away fluid.

• A total of 63 shunts were performed in 57 patients.

• This was a minor shunt with bent bumpers, not a head-on smash.

• I remember when I had my first proper shunt in a racing car.

• The race was delayed for more than 30 minutes following a five-car shunt.

• Although vasodilatation may improve peripheral blood flow, it may also cause shunting which can result in regional tissue hypoxia.

• Furthermore, serum amylase was elevated significantly only in the piglets with left-to-right shunts.

• One month later, cardiac catheterization showed a substantial left-to-right shunt across the ventricular septal defect, with improvement in the size of the pulmonary arteries.

• There was a right-to-left shunt through an atrial septal defect within the oval fossa and a left-to-right shunt through a patent arterial duct.

• They were evaluated for residual ductal murmur, residual ductal shunt and presence of puhnonaryaonic obstruction.

• Only yesterday the fast track was one of the hottest nouns in chicspeak, until it was shunted aside and passed by the fast lane.

• The late mortality is usually due to occlusion of the shunts, which is normally independent of the underlying cardiac lesion.

• One tiny residual shunt is still patent (4 weeks follow-up).

• Complete occlusion or significant shunt reduction could be demonstrated 2-4 weeks after implantation.

• The slow process causing later occlusion might be due to slow obliteration of the shunt, possibly aggravated by an acute illness.

• There was a large inlet muscular ventricular septal defect, but very little potential for shunting at atrial level.

• At 4 months of age, the percutaneous saturation of oxygen had increased to 86%, and the shunt at atrial level became bi-directional.

• After release from the guidewire circuit this 'trivial' shunt disappeared immediately in most patients.

• In symptomatic children not fulfilling requirements of age or size for curative surgery, an aortopulmonary shunt was created as a bridge to definitive therapy.

• A shunt was preferred in symptomatic children with annular restriction under 1 year of age.
