In order to minimize the duration of external cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage after hemorrhagic hydrocephalus we are testing a parallel shunt system that can be implanted very early after bleeding. It should be able to tolerate a high load of protein and blood in the CSF. After clearance of the CSF, the valveless arm of the shunt is closed by a percutaneous manipulation and the valve-arm is opened. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Vienna.
