Summary

This study evaluates two commonly used methods of achieving hemostasis after transradial cardiac catheterization: manual compression and pneumatic compression with gradual deflation.

Transradial access is widely used for diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures due to its safety profile, but radial artery occlusion remains a relevant complication that may limit future vascular access.

In this pragmatic, prospective, multicenter study conducted in routine clinical practice, adult patients undergoing transradial cardiac catheterization were assigned to receive either manual compression or pneumatic compression using a standardized patent hemostasis protocol. The primary objective is to compare the incidence of radial artery occlusion at 30 days between both strategies.

Secondary outcomes include local vascular complications, patient-reported pain, and total compression time.

Conditions

  • Radial Artery Occlusion
  • Cardiac Catheterization

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Manual Radial Compression

Direct manual compression using sterile gauze and a non-circumferential adhesive dressing applied after radial sheath removal, with progressive pressure adjustment to achieve patent hemostasis.

DEVICE

Pneumatic Radial Compression Device

Application of a pneumatic compression device with gradual deflation following a standardized patent hemostasis protocol to maintain arterial flow while achieving hemostasis.
