Trial summary

Previous studies have shown that the transradial cardiac catheterization has decreased not only bleeding complications related to the access site and procedural discomfort but also morbidity and hospitalization as compared to transfemoral approach. Read more about this study

About this study

Previous studies have shown that the transradial cardiac catheterization has decreased not only bleeding complications related to the access site and procedural discomfort but also morbidity and hospitalization as compared to transfemoral approach. At present, the right radial approach (RRA) is the first choice routinely for coronary angiography and interventions in daily clinical practice despite more marked subclavian artery tortuosity than left radial approach (LRA). Although LRA has been thought to be more direct access to the ascending aorta similar to transfemoral approach and may reduce fluoroscopy time and cerebrovascular complications compared with RRA, the application of LRA for coronary intervention is still low. Moreover, several studies have also obtained conflicting results showing no difference in procedural success rate compared LRA and RRA using Judkins catheters. To date, it remains unclear whether LRA is superior to RRA in term of safety and feasibility for coronary angiography and interventions in real world practice and few data of randomized control trial are available.

The aim of this study was to randomly investigate and compare the safety and feasibility of LRA compared with RRA for coronary diagnostic angiography in Chinese subjects.

The investigators will enroll consecutively for 2 years all patients undergoing coronary diagnostic procedures through trans radial approach.

The primary outcome was total procedural duration. Secondary outcomes included fluoroscopy time, dose of radiation including cumulative air kerma and dose area product, contrast volume and the incidence of vascular complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing left radial approach and Right radial approach in people with Transradial Approach, and Coronary Angiography,, run by Capital Medical University 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 23 Apr 2015. 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?

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?

Total procedural duration (time frame: 1 day). 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 23 Apr 2015.
