What is being measured

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

  1. Major Peripheral Vascular Events

    Major peripheral vascular events occurring during femoral catheterization followed by Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), which include any of the following: Groin bleeding, including oozing or spurting after standard compression time necessitating further compression; Groin hematoma ≥ 5 cm at any time during or after the procedure; Pseudoaneurysm, confirmed by Doppler ultrasound; Arteriovenous (AV) fistula, confirmed by Doppler ultrasound; Arterial dissection, thrombosis, or embolism; Retroperitoneal bleeding defined by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) or surgery; Significant drop in hemoglobin ≥ 3 g/dL, or a drop in hematocrit ≥ 10% within 24-48 hours after the procedure compared to baseline without an obvious non-groin source; Any groin complication delaying hospital discharge; Large ecchymosis (> 15 cm) at the site of vascular access on follow-up (dark purple to black and confluent ecchymoses); Obvious extravascular extravasation of contrast as noted on the femoral

    Measured: 7 - 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Micropuncture needle set and Standard gauge-18 needle set in people with Complications, run by Cook Group Incorporated at 2 sites in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Major Peripheral Vascular Events (time frame: 7 - 14 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 May 2017.
