Study Arms (2)
Distal radial artery access group
EXPERIMENTALSubjects randomized to experimental group were underwent coronary diagnosis and intervention via distal radial artery access.
Conventional radial artery access group
ACTIVE COMPARATORSubjects randomized to active comparator group were underwent coronary diagnosis and intervention via conventional radial artery access.
Interventions
Half of the patients enrolled in the study undergoing coronary diagnosis and intervention will be randomized conventional radial access for cardiac catheterization.
Half of the patients enrolled in the study undergoing coronary diagnosis and intervention will be randomized distal radial access for cardiac catheterization.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Indications for coronary diagnosis and intervention
- Distal and conventional radial artery pulsation are palpable
- Patient should be able to comply with the protocol
You may not qualify if:
- Age \< 18 years or ≥ 90 years
- Height ≥ 185 cm
- Acute STEMI
- Haemodynamic instability
- Contraindications to puncture at the puncture site (such as infection, scarring or indwelling needles)
- Enrollment in another study that competes or interferes with this study
