Vascular Access Complication clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

A vascular access complication is a problem at the place a catheter or needle enters, like bleeding or bruising. UCSF is testing wrist versus groin entry for heart catheter procedures to compare bleeding and access site problems. The studies are randomized and collect safety data.

Showing trials for

  • Radial Vs. State-Of-The-Art Femoral Access for Bleeding and Access Site Complication Reduction in Cardiac Catheterization (REBIRTH)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This is a phase IV, prospective, open label, randomized-controlled study that will compare radial access with state-of-the-art femoral access in patients without ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing cardiac catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups: radial access and state-of-the-art femoral access. Randomization will be performed in blocks of 50 per site. Similarly, a second sub-randomization will be performed in the femoral access group into use of 18 vs 21 gauge needles, also in a 1:1 fashion.
