Blood flow during artery exams for heart tests
This trial studies blood flow in the wrist arteries during heart catheterization. It looks at how stopping blood flow works in two different wrist spots to help make procedures safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You are scheduled for a heart catheterization to check for chest pain or a heart condition
- You have had an ultrasound of your heart before the catheterization
- You have a pulse that can be felt in both wrist arteries (the main one and the one by your thumb)

This study tests a new device called SAPH that helps stop bleeding after a catheterization procedure done through the wrist. It may help you if you are having a wrist procedure and plan to go home the same day.
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 trial tests whether a specific wrist compression device with measured pressure works better for stopping bleeding after a heart catheter procedure done through the radial artery (wrist). It may help reduce complications like prolonged bleeding once the procedure is finished.
This study tests a new device called Blood'up that helps find the right spot to draw blood from an artery in your wrist, compared to the usual way of feeling for the pulse. It's done in healthy people to see if it works well, even when blood pressure is lower than normal.
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 compares a new pressure-sensing sheath that monitors blood pressure during wrist-artery procedures to the traditional method. It aims to see if the new device works just as well or better, and is for patients who are already scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure needing continuous blood pressure monitoring.
