Are Transventricular Approaches Associated With Increased Hemorrhage? A Comparative Study in a Series of 624 Deep Brain Stimulation Surgeries.
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery has advanced tremendously, for both clinical applications and technology. Although DBS surgery is an overall safe procedure, rare side effects, in particular, hemorrhage, may result in devastating consequences. Although there are certain advantages with transventricular trajectories, it has been reasoned that avoidance of such trajectories would likely reduce hemorrhage.
