Surface Treated Catheters for Vascular Access—Useful?
Background: Catheter-related infections (CRI), thrombosis, and stenosis are among the most frequent complications associated with catheters which are inserted in vessels as vascular access. These problems are usually related to the handling of the staff, the catheter materials, and the surface properties of the catheter. To mitigate such complications surface treatment process of the outer surf...
متن کاملSurface-Treated versus Untreated Large-Bore Catheters as Vascular Access in Hemodialysis and Apheresis Treatments
Background. Catheter-related infections, thrombosis, and stenosis are among the most frequent complications associated with catheters, which are inserted in vessels. Surface treatment processes of the outer surface, such as ion-beam-assisted deposition, can be used to mitigate such complications. Methods. This retrospective study (1992-2007) evaluated silver-coated (54 patients) and noncoated (...
متن کاملCatheters: a suitable surface for biofilm formation
The successes of modern medicine are intimately connected to the ever-increasing use of biomedical devices such as those used for vital functions management. Catheters of different types are the most common assist devices utilized every year. Current materials from which such medical devices are made include polyurethane, Teflon®, silicone rubber, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride...
متن کاملTreatment of vascular lesions with balloon catheters.
During a 4 year period, 48 patients were treated with balloon catheters. There were 39 fistulas and nine aneurysms. Detachable balloons with a modified Debrun technique were used in 37 patients. Different kinds of technical problems were encountered. The arterial axis remained patent in 29 of the 37 fistulas; in the two mixed internal and external carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas, combined embo...
متن کاملIliac cuffed tunnelled catheters for chronic haemodialysis vascular access.
Obtaining and maintaining vascular access is of pivotal importance in the care of chronic haemodialysis patients. According to the Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) guidelines, peripheral arteriovenous (AV) fistulas or grafts are the preferred type of access [1]. The use of central venous catheters for chronic haemodialysis is discouraged [1]. Compared with AV fistulas, central cathet...
