Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Stable Angina
Ischemic Heart Disease Without Angina
Unstable Angina
Interventions
Procedure: Radial approach
Registration Number
NCT03389503
Lead Sponsor
Wonju Severance Christian Hospital
Brief Summary

This trial will compare the procedural success rate between right and left radial approach in patients undergoing coronary angiography and coronary intervention.

Detailed Description

The three operators who are proficient in the left radial approach for coronary angiography and coronary intervention will be assigned to the right radial approach for 3 months (phase 1). After then, these three operators will switch approach site to the left radial for another 3 months (phase 2).

Procedural success, time of the procedure, use of contrast agent, and fluoroscopic data will be compared between right radial approach (phase 1) group and left radial approach (phase 2).
