Vascular Access Complication clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Problems with blood vessel access during medical procedures are known as vascular access complications. UCSF is exploring different techniques in ongoing trials to minimize bleeding in heart procedures. These trials study the effectiveness of radial versus femoral artery approaches.

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.
