Vascular Access Complication clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Vascular access complications involve problems at the site where medical devices enter veins or arteries. UCSF is exploring ways to reduce these issues during heart catheterization. One study is comparing two access points to find the safest option for patients.

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.
