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 The thrombus which originally encases the catheter will pile up at the puncture site as the catheter is withdrawn.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

Complications of coronary arteriography
TL;DR: In a prospective study of coronary arteriography with Judkins' technique the rate of major complications in 713 patients was 2.1%, a rate similar to or lower than those reported from other studies, even though more major complications were considered in this study.

Aspirin and systemic heparinization in diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology
TL;DR: Aspirin, aspirin and systemic heparinization were used in 57 consecutive cases to decrease the risk of iatrogenic thromboembolic complications during interventional procedures with coaxial catheter systems and the use of systemic heParinization has been extended to all prolonged angiographic procedures except in cases of acute or recent subarachnoid hemorrhage.

A comparison of the thrombogenicity of commercially available catheters.
TL;DR: Until a truly nonthrombogenic plastic is found, systemic anticoagulants or heparin-bonding processes appear to be the only available means of preventing thrombus formation in clinical catheterization procedures.

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).
