Can to travel in a plane if you have a ventricular shunt?
Yes you can travel in an airplane with a vp shunt. I recently flew from Michigan to Oregon and I have a vp shunt which was placed 6 years ago. One bit of advice though, a sinus decongestent seemed to help with the pressure on the return trip. On the first flight I got a very strong headache, which I believe was caused by the cabin (plane) pressure, so on the return trip I took an Advil Cold and Sinus med. This must work because I had no pressure or pain.
How long does a shunt last?
It depends. Most Ventriculoperitoneal ( VP for short) shunts may be implanted for life for the treatment of hydrocephalus ( excessive cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF, build up in the brain ). The type of shunt and the health problem it is treating will ultimately determine the length of implantation.
