The shunt and valve revision-free survival rates were found to be similar among the groups during 30 month follow-up. In patients who received "valve only" revisions and a subsequent explanation, the implant duration was significantly longer in the proGAV. Although the amount of patients with valve-only-revisions are small compared to the entire cohort certain patients seem to be at higher risk for repeated valve revisions.
