Brief Summary

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

Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization will be randomized to 3 groups: no anticoagulant, low dose anticoagulant and high dose anticoagulant.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization via the trans-radial approach will be randomly allocated (1:1:1) to receive either low-dose UFH (25 IU/Kg -maximal dose 3,000 IU), high-dose UFH 50 IU/kg -maximal dose 5,000 IU) or N/S 0.9%. After 30 minutes, patients will undergo a gradual wrist band release. Hematoma and radial artery occlusion will be assessed.
