Trial summary

Cardiac catheterization is the most important test for the evaluation of cardiac patients. Since the beginning of the cardiac catheterization procedure, we have used the femoral artery puncture as a gateway for those procedures. Recently it is used more often the path for the radial.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Vascular ACcess for Radial and Femoral Completion of Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization Performed at the Clinic Patients Northern General de Barranquilla in 2013. Controlled Clinical Trial of Non-inferiority

Cardiac catheterization is the most important test for the evaluation of cardiac patients. Since the beginning of the cardiac catheterization procedure, we have used the femoral artery puncture as a gateway for those procedures. Recently it is used more often the path for the radial. Using this approach has gained many followers worldwide and has been used almost routinely in our country but has not gained popularity because many interventional cardiologists argue that the transradial procedure is much more time-consuming and difficult.

Research question: Are there differences in the total procedure time path between radial and femoral vascular to perform cardiac catheterizations?.

This research focuses on the search for information to determine whether there are significant differences when the variables under study. This research is justified by the need to evaluate the two techniques in use and the lack of studies evaluating and comparing the radial arterial access in comparison with femoral access route which is widely used in all services hemodynamics national and international. The lack of research on the subject has made the use of the transradial procedure routinely not being done, because they have the idea that it is much more time-consuming and technically more difficult than the procedure performed by the femoral approach, hence Hemodynamics specialists, not everyone wants to start implementing the systematic use of the radial approach for cardiac catheterization studies.The main objective of this project is to determine the non-inferiority in terms of total procedure time path between radial and femoral vascular to perform cardiac catheterizations. Secondary objectives: the difference in time of puncture, duration of the procedure and recovery. Incidence of vascular complications and techniques between radial and femoral, presence of complications at 8 days of follow-up. Our aims to check through the results, if the difference in each of the variables favoring either of the two techniques and to determine the non-inferiority of one technique over the other in terms of ease and effectiveness of both procedures. The type of study is a controlled clinical trial open, randomized, non-inferiority. The study population will consist of patients who have been told the diagnostic cardiac catheterization, they are sent to the General Clinic Northern institution.

What is being measured

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

  1. Minutes Total Procedure Time

    The primary outcome measure in this trial, is the time in minutes spent on the realization of the entire cardiac catheterization procedure

    Measured: Assess the total duration of the procedure in minutes. Up to 15 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Minute of Fluoroscopic time

    This secindary outcome is the time in minutes spent during fluoroscopy

    Measured: Assess the total duration of the procedure in minutes. Up to 5 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Radial Technical, Femoral Technical and Omnipaque in people with Ischemic Heart Diseases, run by Centro Cardiológico del Caribe, Columbia at 1 site in Colombia.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 15 Nov 2013. 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 Colombia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Minutes Total Procedure Time (time frame: Assess the total duration of the procedure in minutes. Up to 15 min). 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 15 Nov 2013.
