Key result
A simple nonthrombogenic coating for angiography catheters decreased thrombogenic potential with excellent results in laboratory animals, while human evaluations remain in progress.
Why the study?
Does a nonthrombogenic coating on angiography catheters decrease thrombogenic potential?
Does a nonthrombogenic coating on angiography catheters decrease thrombogenic potential?
A simple nonthrombogenic coating for angiography catheters shows promise in animal models and is currently being evaluated in humans.
Encourages human trials of coated angiography catheters; leaves open clinical adoption pending patient data.
A simple method of treating angiography catheters to decrease the thrombogenic potential is described. Excellent results have been obtained in laboratory animals using the nonthrombogenic coating, and evaluation in human catheterization procedures is in progress.
