5-18-2011 I agree. There must be more people who have had issues with this medically popular valve...me for two! I also note there is a MAUDE who reported their experience and adverse event report, etc. Their problems resolved after their n.S. replace the Medtronic with an Integra, etc. I have also been given the run-around about issues with this valve. It is not what it's cracked up to be from an adult functional standpoint IMO. Positional headaches are likely due to "overdrainage". Been there done that.
