BRIEF NOTE
Descrição passo a passo da técnica de derivação ventrículo atrial percutânea, enfatizando o posicionamento, o uso de ultrassonografia para punção da veia jugular interna, destacando a utilização do introdutor vascular destácavel como ferramenta para evitar deslocamento do cateter distal. Utilização do intensificador de imagem para confirmação da topografia da extremidade do cateter distal.
Step-by-step description of the percutaneous ventriculoatrial shunt technique, emphasizing positioning and the use of ultrasound to puncture the internal jugular vein, highlighting the use of the detachable vascular introducer as a tool to avoid displacement of the distal catheter. Use of the image intensifier to confirm the topography of the distal catheter tip.
