Because angiography involves puncturing an artery, internal bleeding or hemorrhage are possible complications of the test. As with any invasive procedure, infection of the puncture site or bloodstream is also a risk.

Why is a foley catheter placed prior to a cesarean section?
A foley catheter is put into the bladder to make sure the bladder stays small to reduce the risk of nicking it during surgery.
What is the side effect of inflating the balloon to much on a foley catheter?
As the inflated balloon segment of the Foley catheter is against the bladder, over inflation may cause constriction of other organs, discomfort or may break internally. If the balloon does rupture it must immediately be removed as well as all pieces of the balloon or risk infection.
What is the decision to perform a pediatric catheter ablation based on?

How do you collect fresh fractional urine specimen?
There should be a port at the end of the catheter where the tubing attaches to the catheter bag. Wipe with alcohol and, with a needle and syringe, insert the needle into the port and withdraw 10cc-20cc or so. Without a needle, you can take it from the bag itself, but the sample won't be as pure. You can also disconnect the catheter from the tubing and extract a sample, but this increases infection risk. If so, get a sterile container, wipe the entire area where the catheter meets the tubing with alcohol, put the catheter into the container, and hopefully you'll get about 5cc-10cc. When you reconnect, be very careful not to touch the inside of the catheter. This line runs straight into the person's bladder, and thus is a risk for bladder infection.

Can you reuse your tattoo needles?
I wouldn't reuse tattoo needles due to risk of spreading infections or diseases, even if an ultrasonic cleaner is being used. It's just not worth the risk for how little you have to pay for needles. You can pay about 12 dollars for around 50 needles of your choosing on most websites.
What is a cathider?
There are several types of catheters but I'm assuming you mean urinary catheters. It is a device that is inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to empty the bladder of urine, (the urine comes out through the tubing of the catheter and empties into a bag. Reusing catheters can be dangerous because of the risk of infection. Any bacteria, germs, etc. that touch or enter the tubing can travel up into the bladder and cause acute and chronic infections. Most people who reuse catheters have to be very careful and must dip the tubing and insertion device in boiling water prior to reusing and the risk is still greater than that with disposable catheters
