A shunt inserted from the brain to the abdomen or peritoneum is classified to code 02.34, Ventricular shunt to abdominal cavity and organs, and sometimes may be documented as a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Code 02.34 also includes ventriculocholecystostomy and ventriculoperitoneostomy.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or there is a decreased absorption of the fluid. Cerebral shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus.
External ventricular drainage (EVD) catheters act as a pathway to drain CSF from the patient's ventricles to help relieve intracranial pressure. EVD catheters are connected to an external drainage and monitoring system.
G91. 9 - Hydrocephalus, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.

It is sent down the neck and chest, and usually into the belly area. Sometimes, it stops at the chest area. In the belly, the catheter is often placed using an endoscope. The doctor may also make a few more small cuts, for instance in the neck or near the collarbone, to help pass the catheter under the skin.
Shunt malfunction is most commonly due to a blockage or some obstruction within the shunt system. If the blockage is not corrected, symptoms of hydrocephalus will return. In some cases, shunt blockage may require surgery to replace the affected component or components.
