Abstract
Susceptibility to infection and thrombosis of intravascular catheters is increased by surface irregularities, which might be prevented by coating. BaSO4 release from conventional haemodialysis catheters (CC) and modified catheters (MC) which had been coated with a surface-modifying additive (SMA) was assessed in vivo and in vitro. For the in vivo part, patients were randomized to receive a temporary CC or MC, with crossover after 1 week. After retrieval, catheters were examined using scanning electron microscopy to assess surface integrity, and an in vitro model of catheter exposure to the bloodstream was used to evaluate surface morphology and susceptibility to bacterial adhesion and proliferation. BaSO(4) moieties covered 14.7 +/- 3.7% of the surface of unused CC. After in vivo use in 16 patients, 62.7 +/- 32.9 x 10(3) holes/mm(2) were detected, indicating BaSO(4) detachment from 3.3 +/- 1.7% of the catheter surface. No defects were observed in unused CC and in MC, whether used or unused. After incubation of four catheters (two of each type) with Staphylococcus epidermidis, the two degraded CC showed an immediate and strong bacterial growth as indicated by an increase in medium impedance of 0.512%/10 min compared to -0.021%/1...Continue Reading
