An interventional study of Moving and No Moving in Coronary Arteriosclerosis and Myocardial Ischemia, sponsored by Herning Hospital. Completed at 2 sites in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2009-06-11.
Sponsored by Herning Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Coronary angiography via the femoral artery is regarded as a safe procedure, but bleeding complications are often seen. To avoid/reduce bleeding complications digital compression is applied in the area of puncture during approximately 20 minutes and the patient is in the investigators' department observed in bed for 2 hours. The investigators apply pressure over the puncture site using a sand bag in the first hour. The patients are told not to move, to keep their legs and upper arms down and not to lift the head from the pillow in these 2 hours (standard observation). In the present study the patients are randomized between standard observation and an alternative observation, where the patients are allowed to lift their head, arms and legs during the 2 hours, otherwise as standard observation.
The study has three aims:
To establish the incidence of bleeding complications:
3,233 studies on the registry are indexed under Myocardial Ischemia; 396 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 1,000 is above the median of 120 across 1,895 interventional studies indexed under Myocardial Ischemia.
