Abstract
Background The function of gravitational (g)-valves is strictly dependent on the angle of verticalization. For even minor axisdeviations have a significant impact on the functional pressure, a strict orientation parallel to the longitudinal body axis is important. Despite the decisive role only 1/ 166 g-valve-papers (incl. running studies) investigated systematically g-valve-deviations (= failure angles) to the body axis. Furthermore, the more frequent implantation site on the lateral head yet has not been compared to the thoracal site.
