About this study

Official title: Application of Steri-strips for Reducing the Duration of Post Procedure Radial Artery Compression Via Conventional Pneumatic Transradial Band: An Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial

The duration of radial artery compression with the use of steri-strips may become much shorter than the duration of using the conventional pneumatic TR band alone for achieving hemostasis. Consequently, the frequency of radial artery occlusion (RAO) will be much lower and post procedure patency of radial artery will be higher along with significant alleviation of pain duration.

Steri-strips is a kind of sterile adhesive tape used to approximate the clean and superficial wound or surgical incision as an alternate of stitch. Its ability to keep the radial puncture site incision approximated will lead to lesser chances of platelet plug disruption or displacement at the entry site and will hasten the process of hemostasis. The use of steri-strips unlikely to have adverse consequences as it is going to be used as an assist to the usual conventional method. In a study conducted by Faravash et al. in 2016, showed significant reduction in the area of post-rhinoplasty ecchymosis in lower lid, malar and cheek soft tissues with use of steri-strips with no reported safety concerns.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare duration of radial artery compression by conventional method using the pneumatic TR band alone and with use of surgical steri-strips for achieving hemostasis with patency of radial artery after transradial coronary angiography along with reduction of pain duration due to arterial compression.

Read the detailed description

Study population: patients undergoing coronary angiography through transradial approach. Study groups: patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 manner to radial arterial compression with conventional pneumatic TR band alone and radial arterial compression with pneumatic TR band mechanical compression with use of clean sterile steri-strips.

Treatment group. Pneumatic TR band compression with use of steri-strips

Control group. Pneumatic TR band compression alone

Method of radial artery compression after sheath removal:

Conventional mechanical compression: Application of pneumatic TR band alone for 4 hours.

Mechanical compression with use of steri-strips: After putting adequate manual pressure proximal to radial puncture site, dry and sterile application of steri-strip followed by pneumatic TR band for 1 hour.

END POINTS:

Primary endpoint will be the time duration of achieving hemostasis with radial artery patency

Secondary endpoint will be Hematoma or Bleeding

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Steri-strips in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Pakistan at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 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 16 Feb 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 Pakistan. 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?

Mean of (time frame: Immediately after removal of TR band). 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 NCT04900987, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Feb 2022.
