Clinical Trial: Comparison of Distal and Proximal Radial Artery Patency Following Coronary Catheterization, A Real Look at a Special Community

U.S., Aug. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07138170) titled 'Comparison of Distal and Proximal Radial Artery Patency Following Coronary Catheterization, A Real Look at a Special Community' on Aug. 10.

Brief Summary: Background: Radial artery occlusion is the Achilles' heel of radial artery catheterization; this well-known complication is very serious, with an incidence ranging between 5-30% when using the proximal or anterior radial artery access. Emerging evidence suggests that distal radial access may preserve radial artery patency more effectively, with reported occlusion rates between one and two percent. Maintaining radial artery patency is crucial for future procedures, such as utilizin...
