Radial vs. femoral secondary access during TAVI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to get a second access site during a TAVI procedure: using the wrist artery (radial) or the groin artery (femoral). The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement) through the groin artery.
- Your heart team (doctors specializing in heart care) has agreed that you are eligible for TAVI.
- You are able to give written informed consent (meaning you understand and agree to participate).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your wrist arteries (radial arteries) and groin arteries (femoral arteries) are accessible for the procedure.
- You are not in a state of unstable blood pressure or shock, and you are not currently taking part in another study with an investigational drug or device.

This trial compares two methods (ultrasound vs X-ray) to guide a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if using ultrasound alone is as safe and effective as using X-ray.
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 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 whether a shockwave balloon placed through the femoral (groin) artery works better than the standard balloon approach during TAVI in people with difficult, heavily calcified leg/artery access. It may help improve the success and safety of getting instruments through the groin when arteries are “stiff and narrowed.”
This study compares two different ways doctors can perform brain vessel imaging (cerebral angiography): through the wrist (transradial) versus through the groin (transfemoral). Researchers want to see which approach is safer and more effective for patients who need this imaging.
This trial compares two ways doctors reach the blood vessels to do diagnostic brain angiography: through the wrist artery (radial) or the groin artery (femoral). It may help show which access route is safer or easier for people needing this brain blood vessel imaging.
