About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison of Radiological Exposure Between Radial and Femoral Technique Assessing Use of Protective Device Dedicated TRIPTable® in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization

Excessive radiation received by the operator has been described as a possible drawback of the radial catheterization technique when compared with the femoral access.

The study hypothesis is that the use of radial access device dedicated radioprotective TRIPTable ® (Transradial Intervention Table Protection) is not inferior to standard femoral technique and superior to standard radial technique as radioprotection strategy to the operator in patients with acute coronary syndromes acute and submitted to cardiac catheterization.

Read the detailed description

This study is prospective, 1:1:1 randomized, unicentric, comparative between femoral and radial radial technique with and without dedicated TRIPTable ® device.

The TripTable device is a polycarbonate support table anatomically-designed to facilitate the radial technique, facilitating the puncturing, positioning, support to work material and providing further radioprotection from a lead layer without obstruction in viewing the fluoroscopic images.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TripTableDevice

    Also called TRansradial Intervention Protection Table

    Details of the device previously described, designed to medical operator radioprotection. No changes in radial technique beyond the use of the supportive device will be performed.

  • RadialDevice

    Also called PHILIPS standard cath arm support - NCVA097

    Standard radial artery catheterization procedure, performed for the purpose of coronary angiography and ad hoc angioplasty if necessary.

  • FemoralDevice

    Standard femoral artery catheterization procedure, performed for the purpose of coronary angiography and ad hoc angioplasty if necessary. The supporting device will be the patient's own body, placing the material above the legs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiation dose

    Accumulated radiation dose received by the operator during the interventional cardiology procedures as measured by Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD)

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Radiation according measured site

    accumulated radiation dose received by each measured site (gonadal, thyroid and lens)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Operator absorbed radiation according total radiation dose

    Evaluation of radiation dose to the operator according to linear correlation corrected for total dose of radiation.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Success of procedure

    Success rate of the procedure, as defined by perform the procedure without need to cross between techniques

    Measured: 1 year

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?

Radiation dose (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02200783, which also lists 7 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.
