Study summary

The primary endpoint is to compare the incidence of forearm RAO between distal and traditional radial access for coronary angiography and intervention

Read the detailed description

Trans radial access (TRA) has become the standard vascular access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is currently endorsed with a class IA recommendation in the latest European Society of Cardiology/European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (ESC/EACTS) Guidelines on myocardial revascularization, irrespective of clinical presentation Several clinical and procedural characteristics have been linked to the occurrence of RAO, and best practices recommendations for the prevention of RAO include reduction of the sheath/catheter size, adequate procedural anticoagulation, non-occlusive hemostasis (4) and a minimal pressure strategy with short (≤ 120 min) hemostasis time. The use of the distal radial artery with arterial access in the anatomical snuffbox or on the dorsum of the hand, has recently emerged as a promising alternative access route to further reduce the risk of RAO (5) The distal radial artery may be punctured proximally to the tendon of the extensor pollicis longus muscle in the anatomical snuffbox or distally to it in the dorsum of the hand.(6) the distal radial artery lies in the subcutaneous space superficial to the fascial compartments of the hand, thus favoring a faster, and safer hemostasis as compared to conventional TRA(7) The study will enroll 228 patients who will undergo a diagnostic coronary angiography and/or a PCI using a 6 Fr Sheath as the standard access sheath will be divided into two groups DRA versus TRA (114 cases in each group) The primary endpoint is the incidence of forearm RAO between the two groups at hospitalization discharge assessed by duplex ultrasound with independent investigator, who was not involved in the procedure. The presence or absence of a duplex ultrasound anterograde flow signal distal to the radial artery access site is checked between 8 to 48 hours post-procedure The secondary endpoints as successful sheath insertion, access site cross-over, total procedure time, sheath insertion time, puncture site bleeding overall bleeding, vascular access-site complication and radial artery spasm.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To compare the incidence of forearm RAO between distal and traditional radial access assessed by vascular ultrasound at discharge

    The primary endpoint is the incidence of forearm RAO between the two groups at hospitalization discharge assessed by duplex ultrasound with independent investigator, who was not involved in the procedure. The presence or absence of a duplex ultrasound anterograde flow signal distal to the radial artery access site is checked between 8 to 48 hours post-procedure and follow up after 3 months

    Time frame: One year

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2024; primary completion for Dec 2025, 12 months later.

Of 330 non-industry observational studies under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 86. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 429 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 62.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 14, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
