His gall bladder is now failing and it looks like a Ventriculopleural revision is the next option. What problems should we be on the lookout for?
revisions after VA shunts are so much easies than VP I was so scared to go to a VA but I am so glad I did now. I don't frequent here alot but you can find me on facebook. Monica ball
