A patient was implanted on tuesday, (b)(6) 2025 with an spva-2010 valve in ventriculo-atrial shunt (vas).The doctor was having difficulty adjusting the valve to position 2 (70 mmh2o).The patient presented a picture of hyperdrainage, and the doctor wished to adjust the valve to position 3 or 4.Despite numerous attempts (use of a single magnet, double magnet, with or without selector, repeated back-and-forth movements, etc.), it was impossible to change the valve position.After about an hour of unsuccessful attempts, the decision was taken to re-intervene surgically and replace the valve with another spva.The operation was performed without complications on saturday, (b)(6) 2025.
