Summary:The analysis of postoperative complications, which developed in 33 patients after peritoneoatrial shunting (PAS), was carried out. The effectiveness of PAS is determined by proper choice of the indications, adequate performance of surgical intervention. The use of intraoperative teleroentgenoscopy for control of the venous catheter situation is recommended. Reoperations for postoperative complications are to be performed in presence of a pressure gradient in the valvular system and in patients with shunt infection after elimination of the inflammatory process.
