Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hand Numbness

    Number of participants with the hand numbness is evaluated through clinical consultations at 24 hours after procedure.

    24 hours after procedure

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Nerve Injury

    24 hours and 1 month after procedure

  • Thumb and Index Finger Pinch Test

    24 hours before and after procedure, 1 month after procedure

  • Hand Grip Test

    24 hours before and after procedure, 1 month after procedure

  • Late-term Hand Numbness

    1 month after procedure

  • Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire (0-100)

    24 hours before procedure and 1 month after procedure

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Distal radial artery access group

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects randomized to experimental group were underwent coronary diagnosis and intervention via distal radial artery access.

Procedure: Distal radial artery access

Conventional radial artery access group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects randomized to active comparator group were underwent coronary diagnosis and intervention via conventional radial artery access.

Procedure: 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.

Conventional radial artery access group

Half of the patients enrolled in the study undergoing coronary diagnosis and intervention will be randomized distal radial access for cardiac catheterization.
