Recent innovations in endovascular techniques have led to the development of minimally invasive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion techniques.

Of those, six were published as original articles and 10 as conference abstracts. Overall, two technical reports of endovascular treatment of hydrocephalus were found: eShunt\u00ae (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u200914\u00a0studies) and choroidal artery embolization (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u20091\u00a0studies). Outcome data are available for 70\u00a0patients treated with the eShunt\u00ae. In patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus treated with eShunt\u00ae implantation, the Timed Up and Go test improved by 35.7%, Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores by +1.6\u00a0points, and neurogenic bladder symptom scores by \u22123.6s at one year.
