Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cardiac catheterization has traditionally been performed via access to the arterial circulation from the femoral artery located in the groin. As an alternative to this approach, the radial artery, located in the arm, is gaining wider use in clinical practice. Multiple studies have demonstrated that cardiac catheterization via the radial approach has a very low complication rate, in the short term. This study is intended to determine if there are any differences in the long term complication rate between radial artery cardiac catheterization as compared with femoral artery cardiac catheterization.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Femoral

Subjects receiving femoral artery cardiac catheterization

Distal pulses

Intervention Type OTHER

Practitioner will check that the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis are palpable.

Radial

Subjects receiving radial artery cardiac catheterization

Allen's test

Intervention Type OTHER

The Allen's test checks to make sure that radial and ulnar arteries that supply blood to the hand are not blocked. A pulse oximeter is placed on the index finger of the hand. The subject is asked to make a fist for 10 seconds.At this time, pressure is applied over the ulnar and radial arteries as to occlude (block) both of them. The pulse oximeter reading will begin to fall. Radial arterial pressure is then released. If the artery is patent (working), the pulse oximeter reading will begin to rise.
