Randomized Trial of Compression Duration After Transradial Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Radial artery occlusion is a known complication following transradial cardiac catheterization. A shorter duration of postprocedural radial clamp time may reduce radial artery occlusion (RAO) but might be associated with incomplete hemostasis.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 568 patients undergoing transradial diagnostic cardiac catheterization were randomly assigned to either 20 minutes (ultrashort) or 60 minutes (short) hemostatic …
