Summary

This study follows 160 people who have or will get a CODMAN CERTAS Plus valve, a device implanted in the brain to drain extra fluid. The main goal is to see if the valve is placed correctly and works without problems 30 days after surgery. Participants include children and adults with conditions like hydrocephalus, brain tumors, or stroke.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: CODMAN CERTAS Plus Programmable Valve (a surgically implanted device that helps drain excess fluid from the brain)
What this could lead to: If successful, this study will confirm that the valve is safe and works as intended for people with hydrocephalus.
What could go wrong: This is an observational registry, not a test of a new treatment. It only checks short-term device placement, not long-term benefits or risks.
