Reducing complications at the puncture site after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is important. The diameter of a 6.5-French (Fr) sheathless guiding catheter (GC) is smaller by approximately 2-Fr compared to a 6-F...
There was such variance that there was overlap between catheters of different size: thin-walled 10Fr. drains performed better than 12Fr. "Seldinger" chest drains. Better understanding of drain characteristics and better declaration of performance data by manufacturers are required to allow optimum ...
In addition to those mentioned above, other independent risk factors for non-compliance were: (1) neurologic compromise as the reason for ICU admission; (2) suspected catheter-related bacteraemia; (3) suspected or confirmed BI site classified as “other” (for which antibiotic therapy is often ...

Predictive factors classically identified in univariate analysis were: LDH level, AJCC stage, body surface area/body mass index, size of retroperitoneal lymph node masses >35 mm, use of a central venous catheter. In single or multicentred multivariate analysis, the use of a central venous catheter...

Ten patients had an indwelling catheter and 85 received ≥1 ERT administrations at home. The median diagnosis-to-first-treatment interval was 9.1 (0–61.4) years for all 298 patients, but only 1.4 (0–16) years for the 145 patients diagnosed after 1991. Deaths Thirty-eight patients died ...

Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are the most commonly used invasive medical devices in healthcare. While they are often perceived as innocuous because they are common, this perception does not match their risk factors. In France, 16% of intravenous device-associated bacteremia are due to...
