About this study

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:

Read more
  1. To establish the incidence of bleeding complications:
  • Frequency of hematoma (> 5 cm)
  • Frequency of pseudoaneurysms
  • Frequency of bleeding demanding surgery
  • Frequency of bleeding demanding transfusion
  1. Establish a model to predict in wich patient to expect a bleeding complication.
  2. Assess if the alternative observation is associated with more bleeding complications compared to standard observation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of bleeding complications

    Measured: 4 days

  2. Model to predict bleeding complications

    Measured: 4 days

  3. Assess if lying still in bed the first 2 hours after angiography affect the incidence of bleeding complications

    Measured: 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Moving and No Moving in people with Coronary Arteriosclerosis and Myocardial Ischemia, run by Herning Hospital at 2 sites in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of bleeding complications (time frame: 4 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00259194, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2009.
