Postcath Radial Arterial Clamp Time In the CAth Lab

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT02269722
Lead Sponsor
Lawson Health Research Institute
Brief Summary

The investigators will assess the effect of different times of radial clamp post procedure on radial artery occlusion and bleeding.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of shorter radial artery clamp time post cardiac catheterization with respect to achieving hemostasis and the incidence of radial artery occlusion. The investigators hypothesize that shorter radial artery clamp times following cardiac catheterization will achieve similar hemostasis to longer clamp times with a decrease in the incidence of radial artery occlusion.
