A shunt system for controlling the flow of fluid from one region of a patient to a different region of the patient's body. The shunt system includes endoscopic placement features so that the system can be placed endoscopically in a minimally invasive surgery. Also provided is a single fluid flow control device having flow control characteristics previously obtainable only by connecting in series two or more shunt system components. In addition, the shunt system includes a selectively engageable locking mechanism that allows the system to be assembled quickly and easily, without the need for sutures or adhesives. The present assembly process minimizes the possibility of any unintended fluid leakage from the device.

Dans l'invention, on propose un système de dérivation visant à réguler le débit d'un liquide d'une région à une autre de l'organisme d'un patient. Le système de dérivation comprend un dispositif de positionnement par endoscopie qui permet d'installer le système par endoscopie au cours d'une intervention chirurgicale peu effractive. L'invention porte aussi sur un dispositif de régulation du débit simple dont les caractéristiques liées à la régulation du débit ne sont obtenues qu'en reliant en série deux composantes du système de dérivation et plus. En outre, le système de dérivation comprend un mécanisme de verrouillage que l'on peut sélectivement mettre en prise, ce qui permet au système d'être assemblé avec rapidité et facilité, sans avoir à recourir aux sutures ou à des colles. Le présent processus d'assemblage réduit au minimum la possibilité de toute fuite non souhaitée.
