🧠 Human Brain Matters 🧠 🧠 Brain Health Innovations Globally 🧠 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research invented systems and methods of use for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a brain or a spinal canal in a subject, for example, to treat hydrocephalus or other conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to a device comprising a flow controller positioned within a conduit that allows CSF to flow through the conduit from a first end to a second end. This may allow the CSF to drain, for example, from an intradural space (such as a thecal sac) into, for example, a paraspinal space, paraspinal vein or other venous space, or peritoneal cavity. A variety of methods may be used to hold or anchor the device in place, for example, an expansion apparatus. In some embodiments, the device can be implanted percutaneously at a location along or within a subject's spinal column, thus reducing the need for surgery, general anesthesia, and hospitalizations.
