Catheter Blockages and Suprapubic

by LEK55, Jul 30, 2009 08:49PM
My 85 year old dad has a foley in for a few months. It is getting blocked frequently with sedimentation and/or small blood clots.  Are there any remedies to cut down the blockage?  Urologist recommending insertion of suprapubic but dad has many health problems (cardiac, etc.) -- is this smart to do and will it really avoid problems?
