Procedure: Radial Access
Procedure: State-of-the-art femoral access with 18 gauge needle
Procedure: State-of-the-art femoral access with 21 gauge needle
Registration Number
NCT04077762
Lead Sponsor
Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation
Brief Summary

This is a phase IV, prospective, open label, randomized-controlled study that will compare radial access with state-of-the-art femoral access in patients without ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing cardiac catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups: radial access and state-of-the-art femoral access. Randomization will be performed in blocks of 50 per site. Similarly, a second sub-randomization will be performed in the femoral access group into use of 18 vs 21 gauge needles, also in a 1:1 fashion.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age 18 years and older
  • Undergoing diagnostic angiography for ischemic symptoms with possible PCI, or undergoing planned urgent or elective PCI

  • Patients must be equally eligible to undergo cardiac catheterization via radial or femoral access
Exclusion Criteria
  • Primary PCI for STEMI
  • Planned right heart catheterization
  • Valvular heart disease requiring valve surgery within 30 days after the index procedure

  • Planned staged PCI within 30 days after index procedure.
  • Any planned surgeries within 30 days after index procedure
  • Planned dual arterial access (for example for chronic total occlusion PCI)
  • Coexisting conditions that limit life expectancy to less than 30 days
  • Positive pregnancy test

Radial accessRadial AccessRadial access for cardiac catheterization. Radial access will be performed using ultrasound guidance and a micropuncture needle or catheter-over-needle system, as per the local standard of care.
State-of-the-art femoral accessState-of-the-art femoral access with 21 gauge needleFemoral access for cardiac catheterization. Femoral access will be obtained using state-of-the-art techniques (ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance for arterial puncture, immediate femoral angiography after obtaining access and use of a vascular closure device whenever possible).
