Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Kitea ICP Sensor

Experimental: Kitea ICP Sensor - At the same time as this surgery, the Kitea Sensor will be placed in the brain near the shunt. Participants will be asked to make measurements of their brain pressure at home using the Kitea ICP System for the next 3 months. Aside from the placement of the Kitea Sensor and home measurements of ICP using the Kitea ICP system, all clinical interventions will be standard of care.
