I was wondering whether there may be a difference between 'ventrical' and 'ventriculoperitoneal'. Maybe there is none in this case?

@Andrzej Ziomek Why don't you post your suggestion?
Darius Saczuk (asker) Nov 10, 2022:
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your help.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 10, 2022:
My medical contact says that this definitely involves the heart.

sure it's not a shunt?

I assume they are talking about the ventricles of the brain

****Inside the shunt there's a ***valve*** that controls the flow of CSF***, so it does not drain too quickly. You can feel the valve as a lump under the skin on your scalp.

Also,

Tricuspid valve. Located between the right atrium and the right ventricle
Pulmonary valve. Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
Mitral valve. Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle
Aortic valve. Located between the left ventricle and the aorta


so how do you know which valve is being replaced if it is the heart?

Thank you! There is no ventricular valve in the heart though, so I don't understand your expert colleague's comment that this definitely involves the heart, particlarly when they mention stroke a few words beforehand??
