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.
What Is a VP Shunt? A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a thin plastic tube that helps drain extra cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. CSF is the saltwater that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a device implanted in the brain of a patient with hydrocephalus, which is a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain.
G91. 9 - Hydrocephalus, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
EVDs are a short-term solution to hydrocephalus, and if the underlying hydrocephalus does not eventually resolve, it may be necessary to convert the EVD to a cerebral shunt, which is a fully internalized, long-term treatment for hydrocephalus.
Listen to pronunciation. (shunt) In medicine, a passage that is made to allow blood or other fluid to move from one part of the body to another. For example, a surgeon may implant a tube to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdomen.
Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is surgery to treat excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cavities (ventricles) of the brain (hydrocephalus).
A ventriculoperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to the abdominal cavity. A ventriculoatrial shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to a chamber of the heart.
VP shunts are likely to require replacement after several years, especially in small children. The average lifespan of an infant's shunt is two years. Adults and children over the age of 2 may not need a shunt replacement for eight or more years.
ICD-10 code Q03. 9 for Congenital hydrocephalus, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the fluid-containing cavities or ventricles of the brain. The term hydrocephalus is derived from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "cephalus" meaning the head.
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a brain disorder in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles, which are fluid-filled chambers. Normal pressure hydrocephalus is called "normal pressure" because despite the excess fluid, CSF pressure as measured during a spinal tap is often normal.
The average lifespan of an infant's shunt is two years. Adults and children over the age of 2 may not need a shunt replacement for eight or more years.
Shunt procedures can address pressure on the brain caused by hydrocephalus and relieve its symptoms such as gait difficulty, mild dementia and lack of bladder control. If the doctor finds that these problems improve after a lumbar puncture, it may mean that placing a shunt may be able to provide a longer-term benefit.
The shunt tubing relieves pressure on the brain, a condition known as hydrocephalus, by draining the extra fluid in the brain ventricle(s) to a different area of the body where it can be absorbed more quickly.
The shunt event-free survival is approximately 70% at 12 months and is nearly half that at 10 years, post-operatively. Shunts that are placed to channel CSF to other parts of the body may fail due to malfunction or infection. Infections occur in less than 10% of all surgeries.

Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
A patient with congenital hydrocephalus status post ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was admitted due to shunt failure. The VP shunt had become free of its connection and had migrated into the abdomen. Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced. An incision was then made in the periauricular area to expose the site of the distal tubing, and cerebrospinal fluid was seen flowing through the disconnected tubing. A tunneler was used, and the distal tubing was brought back to the periauricular incision and tied to the connecter. Please clarify the correct ICD-10-PCS procedure code (s) for laparoscopic retrieval of VP shunt with replacement of the distal catheter. Should the shunt be classified as a drainage device? ...
Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is not classified as a drainage device. The shunt was initially placed to reroute the contents of the cerebral ventricle to another location, and “Bypass” is the appropriate root operation for the initial VP shunt procedure. In ICD-10-PCS, “Drainage” is defined as taking/letting out fluids/gases, whereas “Bypass” is defined as altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
The device value is “ synthetic substitute” because the original root operation for placing the VP shunt is “Bypass,” and the device placed in that root operation and now being revised is classified as a synthetic substitute. The sites of the procedures to revise the shunt are the peritoneal cavity and the subcutaneous tissue of the periauricular area (behind the ear), respectively. Assign the following ICD-10-PCS procedure codes:
