ABTA was a resource that I was guided to as a brain tumor patient by my neuro-oncologist. They were the first advocacy organization in the U.S. who was committed to funding brain tumor research and providing a platform with education and resources on brain tumors for patients, their family members, and caregivers.


 

The Progav 2.0 Shunt system is just one of a few options that Miethke offers. It’s one of the newer systems that is unaffected by MRI magnets, not requiring the system to be checked or adjusted after imaging. It also has a valve that can be changed magnetically and is painless. For more information on the Progav 2.0 Shunt System follow the link below
