English
Authors' recommendations:
The current available evidence on the Miethke proSA® adjustable gravitational shunt is limited and of a low level with short-term follow-up. Therefore, no judgement can be made on the efficacy and safety of this new type of hydrocephalus valve in comparison with other models currently available. Randomised controlled trials comparing the Miethke proSA® adjustable gravitational shunt to other shunts over a longer follow-up period are required. Together with other adjustable shunts the Miethke proSA® is available through the Prosthesis List and can therefore be considered an established device which may benefit certain selected patients due to a reduction in adverse events, therefore it is recommended that no further research on behalf of HealthPACT is warranted at this time.
