This study tests whether a gentle foot massage after a heart catheterization procedure (coronary angiogram) can help reduce back pain and keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable. If you qualify, you'll receive the massage as part of your recovery care.
This study looks at the best time to give a standard blood thinner (heparin) during a heart procedure called angioplasty, which opens blocked heart arteries through a wrist artery. It may help reduce bleeding or clotting risks.
This study compares two ways doctors can reach the heart during a catheter procedure: through the wrist (radial) or the groin (femoral). It aims to reduce bleeding and access-site complications, especially when patients may need a balloon/stent (PCI).
This trial tests a new way to reduce the amount of radiation you receive during a heart procedure (like angioplasty or stenting) done through the wrist. It aims to make the procedure safer for patients and staff.
This trial looks at whether a “drug-coated balloon” used during a heart procedure (PCI) is safer or better for people who are at higher risk of bleeding while on blood thinners. It may help reduce complications around the time of the procedure in people like you.
This study tests whether applying an ice pack to the groin area after a heart procedure can reduce pain, swelling, and discomfort at the catheter site. It may also help the healing process and improve your overall recovery.
