Some common uses include angioplasty or balloon septostomy , via cardiac catheterization heart cath tuboplasty via uterus uterine catheterization Angioplasty balloon catheters Balloon catheters used in angioplasty are either of Over the Wire OTW or Rapid Exchange Rx design. When a balloon catheter is used to compress plaque within a clogged coronary artery it is referred to as a plain old balloon angioplasty or POBA. Balloon catheters are also utilized in the deployment of stents during angioplasty . Balloon catheters are supplied to the cath lab with a stent premounted on the balloon. When the cardiologist inflates the balloon it expands the stent. When the cardiologist subsequently deflates the balloon the stent stays behind in the artery and the balloon catheter can be removed. Stents that are used in conjunction with a balloon catheter are known as balloon expandable stents.

File Arterial kateter Seldinger .jpg thumb Arterial catheter Seldinger technique File Arterial kateter.jpg thumb Arterial catheter Punktion technique An arterial line , or art line , or a line , is a thin catheter inserted into an artery . It is most commonly used in intensive care medicine and anesthesia to monitor the blood pressure real time rather than by intermittent measurement , and to obtain samples for arterial blood gas measurements. It is not generally used to administer medication. Since many injectable drugs used in intensive care and anesthesia , such as sodium pentothal , may lead to serious tissue damage and even amputation if given in an artery the arterial line must be clearly marked to avoid accidental intraarterial injection of intravenous drugs. An arterial line is usually inserted in the wrist radial artery but can also be inserted into the elbow brachial artery , groin femoral artery , foot dorsalis pedis artery . Insertion is often painful however an anesthetic such as Lidocaine can be used to make the insertion more tolerable and additionally help prevent vasospasm thereby making cannulation of the artery somewhat easier.

Multiple issues no footnotes July 2011 unreferenced July 2011 wikify July 2011 Intermittent catheterisation is an effective technique for people who need catheter based bladder management. Intermittent catheterisation is considered the gold standard of care for bladder emptying, and this approach is supported by several international and national guidelines on urinary incontinence. The principles of using intermittent catheterisation are based on regular and complete emptying of the bladder to maintain a low bladder pressure and minimal residual urine volumes, consequently securing bladder and renal health. Correctly performed intermittent catheterisation is a safe method suitable for long term use, minimising the risk of urological complications e.g. those relating to bladder and kidney dysfunction, Urinary tract infection urinary tract infection UTI , urethral stricture s and male infertility and improving a person s quality of life. People who benefit from intermittent catheterisation include those with neurogenic spinal cord injury, spina bifida and multiple sclerosis and non neurogenic bladder disorders infravesical obstruction due to prostate enlargement, urethral strictures and post operative urinary retention .
