Specialties, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas Vascular catheters are the most frequently used indwelling medical devices and'have become necessary tools for the successful treatment of patients with chronic or critical illness. It is estimated that vascular catheters are inserted in more than 20 million patients who are admitted to hospitals in the United States each year [1]. Several complications, however, prevent the prolonged maintenance of vascular catheters. Infection is one of the leading complications, and catheter-related septicemia represents the most frequent life-threatening complication of vascular catheters [2-4].
