Fluoroscopy Guided Femoral Arterial Access

NCT00222430 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 990

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the use of fluoroscopic guidance, (a commonly used X-ray technique), with the traditional approach, (where the doctors feel for the strongest pulse), to obtain access to the blood vessel in the groin. These two methods are being compared to assess which is faster, safer and more often allows your physician to use an "arterial closure device," a small suture or plug applied at the end of the angiogram where the needle enters your blood vessel if he/she chooses.
