In this scenario, a small piece of fibrin hangs off the catheter tip. This is known as a fibrin tail, which also represents a persistent withdrawal occlusion. These can sometimes be resolved with ...

The matrix of absorbed protein, adherent leukocytes, aggregated platelets, and accumulated fibrin composes a "conditioning layer" that envelops the catheter as a fibrinous sheath. A partial or ...

The authors present a technique for establishing a virtually stress-free dual-catheter system in rats, allowing researchers to conduct extended, complex experimental procedures involving the ...
