Ventriculoatrial shunt (VAS) remains an alternate option for treatment of hydrocephalus in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) failure. Unfamiliar anatomy for a neurosurgeon has resulted in the VAS falling out of favor as a treatment option. However, there are unsatisfactory reports on the long-term result of VPS, and VAS has been recently re-evaluated. We are to report the simple way to do the VAS using a peel-away sheath in a hybrid operation room.
