Arterial Thrombus Formation During Clinical Percutaneous Catheterization
TLDR
Deposition of thrombotic material on catheters was observed following more than 50% of 93 diagnostic catheterizations and a definite time relationship between the thrombus formation and the duration of the catheterization procedure was noted.Abstract:
Deposition of thrombotic material on catheters was observed following more than 50% of 93 diagnostic catheterizations. The incidence of deposition of thrombotic material on catheters remaining in the body for more than 1 day was 100%. Polyethylene and siliconized polyurethane catheters were less thrombogenic than Teflon end-occluded catheters. A definite time relationship between the thrombus formation and the duration of the catheterization procedure was noted. The growth of thrombi on the outside of catheters does not appear to be linear since catheters can remain in place for 10 days or more. Postcatheterization thrombosis is believed to be due to thrombi stripped from the catheter by the arterial wall. The thrombus which originally encases the catheter will pile up at the puncture site as the catheter is withdrawn. The thrombus may remain attached at the puncture site or embolize peripherally.read more

A Simplified Method for Left Heart Catheterization including Coronary Arteriography
David E. Wells,Benjamin Befeler,Judith B. Winkler,Robert J. Myerburg,Agustin Castellanos,Cesar A. Castillo +5 more
TL;DR: A simplified method for performing retrograde left heart catheterization is described which utilizes a family of preshaped catheters via brachial artery cut-down which caused minimal arterial trauma, a low incidence of complications, and shortenedCatheterization times.

Bronchial angiography and intraarterial chemotherapy with mitomycin-C in bronchogenic carcinoma. Anatomy, technique, complications.
TL;DR: Bronchial angiography and intraarterial infusion of mitomycin-C was successfully performed in 39 of 47 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and appears to be of therapeutic value in the treatment of pulmonary carcinoma.

Unusual coronary emboli associated with coronary arteriography.
TL;DR: Clinical and experimental evidence supports the hypothesis that this type of embolus results from the transfer of platelet deposits from the luminal and external surfaces of intra-arterial catheters or from guidewires to the coronary artery.

Anticoagulation Techniques for Angiography An Experimental Study
TL;DR: It is recommended that an anticoagulant technique be employed during clinical angiography, especially after intravascular placement in a dog.

Measurement of thrombus formation on intravascular catheters.
TL;DR: It is suggested that differences in manufacturing technique may be more important than the type of plastic in determining the thrombogenicity of catheters.

Complications of catheter angiography. Study with oscillometry and "pullout" angiograms.
TL;DR: This study was devised to assess the role of several factors in the production of local arterial thrombosis, including type of catheter, duration of procedure, and oscillometric index of the limb employed.

Clotting on the outer surfaces of vascular catheters.
TL;DR: The purpose of this work was to investigate the rate of clotting on the surface of various catheters and to find possible means of prevention.

Platelet adhesion and throms formation on vascular catheters in dogs.
TL;DR: It was thought worthwhile to investigate if platelets adhere to the surface of a catheter and aggregate, as there is evidence that the risk varies with the area of the outer surface of the intravascular part of the catheter.

TL;DR: VASCULAR catheterization is widely employed in diagnostic technics (angiography' sampling of blood, and recording of blood pressure) and therapeutic methods (implants of artificial pacemakers and intravenous and intra–arterial drip infusions).
