An interventional study of Pre-operative instructions to eat and drink at liberty in Coronary Artery Disease, Cardiac Catheterization and Cardiac Diseases, sponsored by Munson Medical Center. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-02.
Sponsored by Munson Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
More than one million cardiac catheterizations (CCs) are performed annually in the United States and the majority are elective. Current guidelines recommend no fasting prior to elective CC, however recent studies suggest that eating and drinking as desired prior to elective CCs involving moderate sedation is safe.
This project will study the potential benefits of allowing patients to eat before elective CCs. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive pre-op instructions to fast, and the other group will be allowed to eat and drink as desired prior to their CC. Researchers will compare these groups with regards to patient satisfaction and respiratory complications.
4,857 studies on the registry are indexed under Coronary Artery Disease; 890 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 2,000 is above the median of 124 across 3,006 interventional studies indexed under Coronary Artery Disease.

Start is estimated for Sep 2025; primary completion for Sep 2027, 24 months later.
Of 753 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Coronary Artery Disease, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 53. This study's planned 24 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 930 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 50.
