About this study

Official title: Comparation of Transulnar Versus Transradial Approach for Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With ST-elevated Myocardial Infarction in Terms of Procedure Complications and In-hospital Cardiac Outcomes

In the literature, there are no studies comparing these two pathways in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this patient group, it will be investigated whether transulnar intervention causes similar or less complications than transradial intervention, and whether it provides superiority or similarity in terms of outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The transulnar approach is known as an alternative procedure for transradial coronary angiography due to its safety and applicability. For cardiologists, experienced in trans-ulnar access, this access zone is comfortable to use. Because less spasm is developing. In addition, no significant difference was found between the transradial and transulnar routes in terms of other complications.In the literature, there are no studies comparing these two pathways in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this patient group, it will be investigated whether transulnar intervention causes similar or less complications than transradial intervention, and whether it provides superiority or similarity in terms of outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complication rate

    Major and minor neurovascular events (access related) of the arm including pain/motor paralysis/paresthesia, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, artery spasm, arterial occlusion

    Measured: 1 day

  2. in-hospital cardiac outcomes

    the incidence of death, myocardial infarction (MI), urgent target lesion revascularization (TLR), acute heart failure as major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within the hospital

    Measured: 1 week

Model description
Patients admitted with STEMI at the cardiology department and admitted to the catheter laboratory for primary percutaneous coronary intervention will be included in the study. There will be two groups in the study.In the first group, patients treated with transulnar access will be included. In the second group, patients using transradial access will be included. Patients will be treated by the same operator respectively. Peri-procedural data and in-hospital cardiac outcome data of patients in both groups will be recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing primary percutaneous coronary intervention in people with ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction, run by Sakarya University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 26 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Complication rate (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04183140, which also lists 4 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 26 Oct 2022.
