About this study

The objective of this study is to determine the rate of radial artery occlusion and vascular access site complications following transradial angiogram using a new Terumo (Tokyo, Japan) Glidesheath Slender, in comparison with the currently used 6 French (6 Fr.) radial sheath.

Read the detailed description

Based on previously reported studies the rates of radial artery occlusion using a standard 6 Fr. sheath is around 5-10%, compared to the single feasibility study of the Glidesheath Slender by Aminian et al (see reference in the citations), the rate of radial artery occlusion was reported 0.88%.

This study will be a prospective randomized, single-blinded (patient-blinded) study, comparing the rate of radial artery occlusion and vascular access site complications between the Glidesheath Slender (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) and the standard 6 Fr. radial sheath in patients undergoing transradial coronary catheterization.

  • The study will enroll patients who will undergo elective or emergency coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via transradial approach at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.
  • A baseline clinical vascular \& ultrasound assessment will be performed prior to the procedure to document patency of the radial artery.
  • Patients will be randomized in 1:1 fashion to either receive the Terumo Glidesheath Slender versus the currently used 6 Fr. sheath.
  • The standard angiogram/ PCI will be performed as per usual practice.
  • Following the angiogram, clinical vascular assessment as well as an ultrasound will be performed prior to discharge.
  • At 30 days follow up the patient will come back for clinical and ultrasound assessment of radial artery patency and access site vascular complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radial artery occlusion

    Evaluated clinically and by ultrasound

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Vascular access site complications

    Includes: Radial artery occlusion, bleeding or hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, artery dissection, compartment syndrome of the forearm

    Measured: up to 30 days

  2. Radial artery spasm

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 day

  3. Procedure success

    Defined as ability to finish the angiogram/PCI via the intended access site, without the need to change access site.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 day

  4. Sheath kinking

    Major requiring sheath exchange or minor

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 day

  5. Painful sheath removal

    Scored on a scale of 1-10 scoring system

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glidesheath Slender and standard 6- French radial sheath in people with Embolism and Thrombosis of the Radial Artery and Coronary Heart Disease, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2022. 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 Canada. 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?

Radial artery occlusion (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT02324764, which also lists 3 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 28 Jan 2022.
