Summary Secondary upward kinking of the cardiac catheter after ventriculo-auricular shunting occurred five times in three patients. This seems to be a complication confined to adults. Except for a case of pulmonary embolism the complication occurred in the first few days after shunting. Anatomical disposing factors and physical and pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed.
