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 The thrombus which originally encases the catheter will pile up at the puncture site as the catheter is withdrawn.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

The effect of silicone coatings on thrombogenicity
TL;DR: It is concluded from this study that silicone compounds may well reduce the Lee-White clotting time in vitro, but the thrombogenicity of foreign surfaces is basically unaltered in vivo.

TL;DR: A simple technical protocol described in this communication has been followed during 3,500 percutaneous transfemoral coronary arteriograms using the Judkins approach and during this experience no embolic complications have been observed.

Clot Formation in Angiographic Catheters — An in Vitro Comparative Study
R. Raininko,H. Söder +1 more
TL;DR: Clot formation was compared in 6 brands of angiographic catheters and albumin coating had no effect on clot formation, but clots were more easily expelled by low-flow injections in albumin-coated and, to a lesser degree, in heparinized than in untreatedCatheters.

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.

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).
