The Scientific World Journal, 2007 Suprapubic cystostomy is recommended to patients with neuropathic bladder to prevent complications of long-term urethral catheter drainage. We present a 50-year-old male patient with tetraplegia who had long-term urethral catheter drainage.

Double-Balloon Enteroscopy to Remove a Strangulated Enteroclysis Catheter from the Small Bowel
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2008 We present the case of a 77-year-old male who was referred for magnetic resonance (MR) enteroclysis because of small bowel subobstruction. To optimise small bowel distention during MR, a nasojejunal balloon catheter was placed to perfuse iso-osmotic ...

Automatic catheter detection in pediatric X-ray images using a scale-recurrent network and synthetic data [PDF]
, 2018 Catheters are commonly inserted life supporting devices. X-ray images are used to assess the position of a catheter immediately after placement as serious complications can arise from malpositioned catheters. Previous computer vision approaches to detect catheters on X-ray images either relied on low-level cues that are not sufficiently robust or only ...

Computer-Aided Assessment of Catheters and Tubes on Radiographs: How Good is Artificial Intelligence for Assessment? [PDF]
, 2020 Catheters are the second most common abnormal finding on radiographs. The position of catheters must be assessed on all radiographs, as serious complications can arise if catheters are malpositioned. However, due to the large number of radiographs performed each day, there can be substantial delays between the time a radiograph is performed and when it

Acute Urinary Obstruction in a Tetraplegic Patient from Misplacement of Catheter in Urethra
Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2016 A male tetraplegic patient attended accident and emergency with a blocked catheter; on removing the catheter, he passed bloody urine. After three unsuccessful attempts were made to insert a catheter by nursing staff, a junior doctor inserted a three-way ...

Use of balloon catheter dilation and steroid-eluting stent in light and severe rhinosinusitis of frontal sinus: a multicenter retrospective randomized study [PDF]
, 2018 OBJECTIVE: Frontal sinus surgery has an increased rate of re-stenosis, if compared to other sinuses, that mainly depends on recurrent inflammation and abnormal scarring at the frontal recess; its reduction represents one of the keys of therapeutic ...

Quantifying the Consequences of Catheter Steerability Limitations on Targeted Drug Delivery [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we virtually study the intra-arterial targeted drug delivery. Specifically, this work models and quantifies the uncertainties associated with catheter steerability limitations. We classify catheter's limited steerability into two types, i.e., zero steerability, and wall pressing steerability.

Rupture of the arterial wall causes deflection in pressure time course during ex vivo balloon angioplasty [PDF]
, 1997 A relation between restenosis and arterial lesions resulting from balloon angioplasty has been suggested in literature. Nevertheless, it is unclear to what extent angioplasty-induced arterial wall lesions contribute to the occurrence of restenosis.

Balloon Catheter Sinuplasty in Young Children [PDF]
American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, 2010 Background Balloon catheter sinuplasty (BCS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) was found to be successful in adults. The safety and feasibility of BCS in children has been recently established. The purpose of this study was to study the outcome of this technology in CRS in children.
