Hand function after wrist heart procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares hand function after heart tests or treatments done through a small tube in the wrist. It aims to see if using a more distant wrist point helps protect hand movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a heart test or treatment using a tube in an artery (like angioplasty or stenting).
- The doctor must be able to feel your pulse at both wrist access points.
- You can follow the study plan and attend follow-up visits.
- You are at least 18 years old and younger than 90.
- You are shorter than 185 cm (about 6 feet 1 inch).

This trial tests if squeezing a stress ball for a few days before a planned heart artery test can help keep the wrist artery healthy and reduce complications. If you're having a planned coronary angiography, this simple exercise may improve your outcome.
This trial tests whether a new wrist access point (the distal radial artery) along with specific drug treatments (CAG and PCI) is safe and effective for people with small blood vessels in the heart. It aims to offer an alternative that may reduce bleeding or damage risks.
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.
This study compares two ways of inserting a thin tube into your wrist artery for a heart procedure (angiography or PCI). One way is closer to the hand (distal), the other is the traditional spot. The goal is to see which one causes fewer blockages in the forearm after the procedure, using ultrasound to check.
This study compares two ways of accessing the heart's blood vessels through the wrist artery during a heart imaging procedure. Researchers will test whether using ultrasound to guide the needle improves the success and safety of the procedure.
This study looks at how blood flow stops (bleeding control) at two different points in the wrist artery during a simulated procedure. It may help improve how bleeding is managed after heart catheterization.
