Brief Summary
This observational study aims to evaluate the accuracy and safety of pressure sensing sheath blood pressure monitoring compared to traditional invasive and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring methods during neuroendovascular interventional procedures. The study will enroll 50 adult patients undergoing elective neuroendovascular procedures requiring general anesthesia and continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring. Blood pressure will be simultaneously measured using three methods: (1) pressure sensing sheath, (2) radial arterial line, and (3) non-invasive cuff monitoring. The primary outcome is the accuracy of blood pressure measurements from the pressure sensing sheath compared to radial arterial line measurements. Secondary outcomes include the incidence of access site complications, procedure duration, patient comfort scores, and cost-effectiveness analysis. This prospective, single-center study will be conducted at Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from August 2025 to May 2027.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Agreement of Mean Arterial Pressure Between Pressure Sensing Sheath and Radial Arterial Line
Agreement analysis of mean arterial pressure (MAP) measurements between pressure sensing sheath monitoring and radial arterial line monitoring using Bland-Altman method. Non-inferiority criterion: 95% limits of agreement within ±10 mmHg. Synchronous comparison of both methods in the same patient to eliminate individual differences.
Intraoperative (duration of procedure, approximately 1-4 hours)
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Agreement of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure
Intraoperative (duration of procedure, approximately 1-4 hours)
Procedural Efficiency
From patient entry to operating room until completion of procedure setup (approximately 10-30 minutes)
Incidence of Access Site Complications
From procedure start through 7 days post-procedure
Patient-Reported Puncture Site Pain Score
24 hours and 7 days post-procedure
Study Arms (1)
All Participants
All enrolled patients will receive simultaneous blood pressure monitoring using both methods: (1) Pressure sensing sheath monitoring system inserted via radial artery, and (2) Traditional radial arterial line monitoring on the contralateral side combined with standard non-invasive blood pressure cuff monitoring. This is a self-controlled study design where each patient serves as their own control.
Interventions
Continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring via pressure sensing sheath inserted through radial artery during interventional procedure. The pressure sensing sheath integrates a miniature pressure sensor within the vascular access sheath, enabling simultaneous vascular access and continuous blood pressure monitoring.
Traditional invasive blood pressure monitoring via radial arterial catheterization (RAC) on the contralateral radial artery, combined with standard non-invasive blood pressure cuff monitoring. This serves as the gold standard comparator for blood pressure measurement accuracy.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing elective neuroendovascular interventional procedures requiring general anesthesia and continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring at Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Target enrollment is 50 patients from September 2025 to December 2026.
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years
- Patients scheduled for elective transradial interventional procedures requiring continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring
- Patients who must undergo radial arterial catheterization for invasive blood pressure monitoring according to clinical needs and standard medical operational procedures
- Patients who can understand the study purpose, voluntarily participate and sign informed consent, and are willing to undergo relevant examinations and clinical follow-up
You may not qualify if:
- Contraindications to radial artery access
- Hemodynamic instability
- Patients requiring postoperative continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring
- Failure to obtain informed consent
- Known severe aortic or subclavian artery stenosis or occlusion
- Severe coagulation dysfunction (INR ≥2.0, platelet count \<75×10⁹/L)
- BMI \>40 kg/m²
- Severe heart failure (NYHA Class IV) or patients requiring emergency rescue with hemodynamic instability
