Trial summary

The transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty is now widely used in catheterization laboratories worldwide, which had been shown as advantages over the conventional femoral and brachial approaches due to the lower incidence of bleeding and other cardiovascular complications.

About this study

The transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty is now widely used in catheterization laboratories worldwide, which had been shown as advantages over the conventional femoral and brachial approaches due to the lower incidence of bleeding and other cardiovascular complications. However, the transradial approach does not seem suitable for 5-15% of patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty. The ulnar artery which is one of the two terminal branches of the brachial artery is usually larger than radial artery and it may be as a potential approach for cardiac catheterization. Recently, some reports have demonstrated that the transulnar approach may be both feasible and safe for coronary angiography and angioplasty in selective patients.we performed this study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transulnar approach coronary catheterization in real world non-selective patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Coronary artery cannulation

    vascular events including arterial occlusion through ulnar/radial artery approach

    Measured: 1-12 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Interventional procedure characteristic

    The secondary end points included the crossover rate, spasm, total time for the procedure

    Measured: during procedure

  2. The access-site related complications

    The access-site related complications were defined as the occurrence of hematoma, artery stenosis, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, and nerve injury

    Measured: 1-12 month follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transulnar approach interventional procedure and transradial approach interventional procedure in people with Intervention and Transulnar, run by Fu Xianghua at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xianghua FU (+8631166003803, fuxh999@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coronary artery cannulation (time frame: 1-12 month). 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 NCT01979627, which also lists 4 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 Jan 2017.
