Removing wrist artery lines after open heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests three methods (ice bag, TR band, and air compression) to see which works best for removing a small tube from the wrist artery after open heart surgery. The goal is to find the most comfortable and effective way to manage this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares hand function after two ways to access the wrist artery for heart tests or treatments. It may help people who need a coronary procedure understand if a newer access site is better for their hand health.
This study compares two ways to place a small tube in your arm artery during robot-assisted urologic surgery. It aims to see if a different location in your wrist keeps your blood pressure readings more stable.
This study tests two ways to control bleeding after a heart/blood-vessel procedure done through the wrist (or elbow) artery. It may help make the procedure safer and improve how well the artery is managed during healing.
This trial tests which technique works better for placing a small tube in the wrist artery for monitoring during heart surgery. It compares the standard method to one using ultrasound guidance to find the best approach for patients with difficult wrist arteries.
This trial compares two sizes of small tubes (called sheaths) used during a heart procedure to open blocked arteries. The procedure is done through a tiny artery in your wrist, and the goal is to see if a smaller tube works just as well with fewer side effects.
This study compares using the wrist (radial artery) versus a different access site (conventional radial access approach) during complex, larger “bore” heart procedures to open blocked coronary arteries. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for challenging cases like chronic blockages or heavily calcified arteries.
