Brief Summary
Trans-radial approach (TRA) has becoming popular and widely adopted over the last decade. However, radial artery occlusion (RAO) continues to be one of the limitation of trans-radial access and potentially limits the radial artery as an access site in the future. Several strategies have been used to decrease the incidence of RAO including the use of anticoagulation, maintenance of patency during hemostasis, or shortening the duration of compression. Currently, there is no data whether vasoactive pharmacological therapy such as nitroglycerin administered intra-arterially at the end of the procedure may reduce the incidence of RAO. It is hypothesized that the addition of nitroglycerin (nitric oxide donor) at the end of a TRA procedure may reduce the incidence of RAO.

One Day After the Index Procedure
Study Arms (2)
500 microgram of Nitroglycerin
ACTIVE COMPARATOR500 mcg nitroglycerin was given intra-arterially through the sheath at the end of a transradial procedure
Saline 5 mL
PLACEBO COMPARATOR0,9% Saline 5 mL was given intra-arterially through the sheath at the end of a transradial procedure
Interventions
500 microgram of Nitroglycerin (in 5 mL saline) given intra-arterially through the sheath at the end of transradial procedure
Saline 5 mL given intra-arterially through the sheath at the end of transradial procedure
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Sequential patients undergoing trans-radial catheterization in the institution will be consented to be randomized to receive either 500 microgram nitroglycerin (Group A) or a placebo (Group B) administered intra-arterially through the sheath at the end of the procedure.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with cardiogenic shock or hemodynamically unstable
- Unable to tolerate nitrates
