Abstract
In 14 patients, 16 episodes of occluded Hickman catheters were evaluated by contrast venography. In 13 instances, a fibrin sheath occluding the distal catheter was observed. A mechanical problem was responsible for occlusion in three catheters. Low-dose streptokinase effectively restored lumen patency in 12 catheters (92%) occluded by a fibrin sheath.Entities:
