Percutaneous arterial catheterization for multiple sampling

Percutaneous arterial catheterization for multiple sampling.

Arterial thrombus formation during clinical percutaneous catheterization.

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 f...

Late results of percutaneous retrograde femoral arterial catheterization in children.

Sixty-six patients under the age of I2 years who had undergone percutaneous retrograde femoral artery catheterization were examined for evidence of sequelae of the procedure. Forty-two patients were considered to be suitable for study for evidence of impairment of circulation and limb growth. Three patients had mild symptoms and no patients had evidence of tissue loss. The detailed results are ...

Profunda femoral arteriovenous fistula after percutaneous arterial and venous catheterization.

Percutaneous venous and retrograde arterial catheterization by the Seldinger technique (Seldinger, 1953), or its modification, is a routine procedure in many cardiovascular diagnostic and research laboratories. The incidence and nature of complications after these procedures vary from one group of investigators to another. Reports and reviews of such complications are available (Peirce, I95I; P...

Percutaneous Heart Catheterization

neous method of right and left heart catheterization was used in 127 patients. In infants and children weighing more than 10 pounds, the percutaneous method was found to be an effective technic associated with a 3% incidence of diminished arterial pulses in the catheterized limb. All patients in this weight group, except one, had left heart catheterization by this technic. The method was deemed...
