Building an antifouling zwitterionic coating on urinary catheters using an enzymatically triggered bottom-up approach.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2014
Catheter associated urinary tract infections are common during hospitalization due to the formation of bacterial biofilms on the indwelling device. In this study, we report an innovative biotechnology-based approach for the covalent functionalization of ...

The Decoy Catheter

Journal of Urology, 1990
A decoy catheter can prevent traumatic indwelling catheter removal in patients with altered mental status who require temporary bladder drainage. We illustrate the technique in a demented patient who underwent transurethral prostatectomy.

Technique and Catheters

Cardiology Clinics, 2009
This article reviews the current technique of coronary angiography, focusing on the choice of arterial access site; navigation from the arterial access site to the ascending thoracic aorta; cannulation of the native coronary arteries in their normal, variant, and anomalous locations; and cannulation of saphenous vein and arterial graft conduits.

Very low doses of warfarin can prevent thrombosis in central venous catheters. A randomized prospective trial.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1990
OBJECTIVE To determine whether very low doses of warfarin are useful in thrombosis prophylaxis in patients with central venous catheters. DESIGN Patients at risk for thrombosis associated with chronic indwelling central venous catheters were ...

The permanent catheter

Hemodialysis International, 2013
AbstractAn elderly woman receiving hemodialysis via a right brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula presented to the clinic for elective removal of a tunneled hemodialysis catheter inserted 5 years ago. The catheter had not been removed earlier at the patient's request. Removal was now unsuccessful in the clinic.
