Bleeding control at the wrist artery during heart procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years of age or older.
- You need to be scheduled for a heart catheterization (to check for blockages in your heart arteries) because of chest pain or a heart condition.
- You must be having an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of your heart) before the catheterization.
- Doctors must be able to feel pulses in the radial arteries in both wrists.
- You must not be in cardiogenic shock, have had a prior catheterization through the distal radial artery, have a dialysis fistula in the same arm, or be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests a device called SAPH that helps stop bleeding after a heart or blood vessel procedure done through the wrist. It may make recovery more comfortable and help you go home sooner.
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 whether a special wrist band with adrenaline drops works better than the band alone to stop bleeding from the wrist after a heart catheterization. It may help reduce bleeding time and improve recovery.
This study tests a special sealant applied at the wrist to stop bleeding faster after a heart catheterization procedure. It may help reduce the time you need to wear a compression band and get you moving sooner.
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.
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).
