First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether a small shot of nitroglycerin under the skin can widen the wrist artery, making it easier for doctors to insert a tube for heart procedures. It involves 1,400 adults with coronary artery disease who need a heart catheterization. The goal is to reduce the need to switch to a leg artery and lower complications like bruising or bleeding.
