New patch and ultrasound aim to make wrist heart procedures safer and faster
NCT ID NCT06835829
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests two improvements for heart catheterization done through a small artery in the wrist. First, it checks if a special patch can stop bleeding faster. Second, it sees if using ultrasound to guide the needle makes the procedure more successful. About 480 adults needing heart tests or treatment will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- potassium ferrate hemostatic patch
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make wrist-based heart catheterization faster and more reliable, reducing complications and improving patient comfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-sized pragmatic trial, not a large Phase 3 study. The patch and ultrasound technique may not show meaningful improvement over standard care, and results may not apply to all hospitals.
