Abstract
✓ A simple guide wire technique is described for introducing and placing the cardiac catheter in revision of a ventriculoatrial shunt. The advantages include easier passage of a catheter through tortuous or aberrant venous channels and areas of stenosis, and more accurate cardiac catheter tip localization. Suggestions regarding manipulation of the wire and placement of the catheter are also presented.Keywords
