NCT ID NCT03854253
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 100 people with coronary artery disease who had a heart procedure through the wrist. Half got a short sheath and half got a long sheath. The goal was to see which one leads to fewer blockages in the radial artery. Researchers used ultrasound to check for blockages and also tracked bruising.
