An occlusion resistant medical shunt, particularly a hydrocephalic shunt, is provided for implantation into a mammal. The shunt has an elongate wall structure configured as a tube having a lumen therethrough and a proximal end for receipt of bodily fluids. The bodily fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid, flows through the shunt to a distal end for discharge of the bodily fluids. The wall structure of the shunt generally includes a biocompatible medical device material. The shunts of the present invention further include one or more occlusion resistant materials to resist occlusion of the lumenal passage in the shunt.

L'invention concerne une dérivation médicale résistant à l'occlusion, notamment une dérivation interne pour hydrocéphalie, utilisée en vue d'être implantée dans un mammifère. La dérivation comprend une structure de paroi allongée configurée comme un tube à travers lequel passe une lumière et une extrémité proximale permettant de recevoir des fluides corporels. Les fluides corporels, notamment le liquide céphalo-rachidien, s'écoulent à travers la dérivation vers une extrémité distale en vue de décharger des fluides corporels. La structure de paroi de la dérivation comprend généralement un matériau de dispositif médical biocompatible. Les dérivations de cette invention comprennent, en outre, un ou plusieurs matériaux résistants à l'occlusion en vue de résister à l'occlusion du passage luménal dans la dérivation.
