Trial summary

Coronary angiography is now mainly performed via the radial route rather than the femoral route. At the end of the procedure, the sheath is removed and a band is inflated to obtain hemostasis. The air in the band is then deflated at regular intervals. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Protocols for Deflation of Radial Band Following Coronary Procedures Via the Radial Route

Coronary angiography is now mainly performed via the radial route rather than the femoral route. At the end of the procedure, the sheath is removed and a band is inflated to obtain hemostasis. The air in the band is then deflated at regular intervals. Currently there are different protocols for deflation of the band, but none of these have been studied with regards to patient comfort and time of deflation, and potential complications such as bleeding. Here in this study the investigators wish to compare two such protocols of band deflation and assess the levels of patient comfort and time to discharge with two widely used protocols.

Read the detailed description

Coronary angiography is a procedure by which the anatomy of the coronary arteries are studied. It can be done either via the radial artery approach or the femoral artery approach. Currently most centers use the radial artery approach due to the lower risk of access site bleeding as compared to the femoral artery approach. In addition, the radial approach allows earlier patient mobilisation after the procedure.

Once the sheath, through which the procedure is done, is removed, a special air filled band is used to compress the artery to prevent bleeding. This involves filling the band with around 18 ml of air and then releasing the air at periodic intervals. There are however no set protocols for the removal of air and literature often suggests varying protocols. However what the protocols try to achieve is proper hemostasis, with low incidence of radial artery occlusion. In addition to these, patient comfort and safety along with staff ease of use is important. Some protocols involve frequent deflations which might be more tedious for the nurses, but more comfortable for patients whilst others might be easier for the staff (due to longer intervals), but more uncomfortable for the patients. However, there are no studies that actually compare these protocols

What participants receive

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

  • Late deflation of TR bandDevice

    Also called Late deflation

    1. First 3ml of air is removed after TWO hour of sheath removal. Then, 3ml of air is removed every 15minutes.
    2. Observe for any bleeding or hematoma. During every deflation, if any bleeding or hematoma is noticed then 3ml of air is pushed back into the device until bleeding stops. Then a gap of 15minutes is observed for the next deflation.
  • Early deflation of TR bandDevice

    1. First 2ml of air is removed from the band ONE hour after sheath removal. Then, 2ml of air is removed every 30minutes.
    2. Observe for any bleeding or hematoma. During every deflation, if any bleeding or hematoma is noticed then 2ml of air should be pushed back into the device until bleeding stops. Then wait for another 30minutes for the next deflation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total deflation time

    To see how quickly the band can be removed in each arm

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Staff satisfaction

    using a visual analogue scale (from 1-10 where 1 is totally dissatisfied and 10 is completely satisfied

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Patient satisfaction

    using a visual analogue scale (from 1-10 where 1 is extremely painful and uncomfortable and 10 is totally unpainful and comfortable

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Late deflation of TR band and Early deflation of TR band in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Radial Artery Injury, run by Sultan Qaboos University at 1 site in Oman.

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 1 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 4 Apr 2019. 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 Oman. 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 deflation time (time frame: 2 hours). 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 4 Apr 2019.
