Not very long. If it is surgically removed about 2 years
Can I ask why you're asking this... I highly doubt that anyone would have ever recorded this and if they did, I do not see the significance in knowing that fact!
It depends on how long is long term. If it is long enough your bladder will become smaller and you will become dependent on the foley catheter. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It just depends on what the alternatives are.
In cardiac catheterization, a long, fine catheter is used for passage through a blood vessel into the chambers of the heart.

I was in the hospital a couple years ago and had a catheter for alittle over 2 weeks. I could pee almost right away. The thing I had trouble with was once your done peeing, it will keep dripping. Ha, I would stay in the bathroom for 10 min just waiting for it to stop dripping. That ended up going away after about a month. The key thing about catheters is that the longer there in, the harder it is to get back into the flow of things. Also, once a catheter is taken out, there is a chance that you could get a UTI (urinary track infection). Good luck, the catheter should be the least of your worries :)
A long, flexible tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a vein and threaded up into the heart. The doctor can guide the catheter by watching its movement on a TV monitor showing an x-ray image of the area. The tip of the catheter is fitted with.

Directional Coronary Atherectomy (DCA) is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the blockage from the coronary arteries and allow more blood to flow to the heart muscle and ease the pain caused by blockages.The procedure begins with the doctor injecting some local anesthesia into the groin area and putting a needle into the femoral artery, the blood vessel that runs down the leg. A guide wire is placed through the needle and the needle is removed. An introducer is then placed over the guide wire, after which the wire is removed. A different sized guide wire is put in its place.Next, a long narrow tube called a diagnostic catheter is advanced through the introducer over the guide wire, into the blood vessel. This catheter is then guided to the aorta and the guide wire is removed. Once the catheter is placed in the opening or ostium of one of the coronary arteries, the doctor injects dye and takes an x-ray.If a treatable blockage is noted, the first catheter is exchanged for a guiding catheter. Once the guiding catheter is in place, a guide wire is advanced across the blockage, then a catheter designed for lesion cutting is advanced across the blockage site. A low-pressure balloon, which is attached to the catheter adjacent to the cutter, is inflated such that the lesion material is exposed to the cutter.The cutter spins, cutting away pieces of the blockage. These lesion pieces are stored in a section of the catheter called a nosecone, and removed after the intervention is complete. Together with rotation of the catheter, the balloon can be deflated and re-inflated to cut the blockage in any direction, allowing for uniform debulking.A device called a stent may be placed within the coronary artery to keep the vessel open. After the intervention is completed the doctor injects contrast media and takes an x-ray to check for any change in the arteries. Following this, the catheter is removed and the procedure is completed.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/23/2011Michael A.

Yep, and they have been peeing indoors for a long time now too!
As long as it's all consentual, I shouldn't have thought so.
