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 The thrombus which originally encases the catheter will pile up at the puncture site as the catheter is withdrawn.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

TL;DR: Peripheral arterial pulses remained palpable in all patients, but in one instance a broken catheter tip embolized into the posterior tibial artery.

Contrast Agents in Clinical Angiography—Relevance to Thromboembolic Phenomena
TL;DR: The specific phenomenon of thromboembolism, and the factors which may contribute to it, have formed the basis of great controversy recently, particularly in the United States, as it has been suggested that there is a greater risk associated with the in all other ways better and safer non-ionic contrast agents.

The Treatment of Brain Ischemia Following Arteriography
TL;DR: Low-molecular-weight dextran, hyperosmotic agents, or corticosteroid drugs did not lower the blood pressure level needed for preservation of brain function in these patients and were not beneficial in the treatment of 5 patients with brain ischemia secondary to systemic arterial hypotension.

A simple method of removing intra-arterial clots formed during catheterization.
TL;DR: Preparatory to catheter withdrawal the femoral artery below the puncture site be firmly compressed; continuous suction be exerted as the catheter is slowly withdrawn, in an attempt to entrap the thrombus.

The catheter wall simulating thrombus formation seen on pullout angiograms: an experimental study.
TL;DR: The authors investigated the nature of a radiolucent line that was seen paralleling the radiopaque catheter wall on more than 70% of 176 pullout angiograms, and it was demonstrated that an identical line could be reproduced in a bloodless model.

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).
