NCT ID NCT05702060
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared radiation exposure to doctors during heart procedures (coronary angiography and stenting) using two different arm artery approaches: the left distal radial artery and the conventional right radial artery. Over 1,000 patients participated. The goal was to see if one approach reduces radiation exposure for the operator, which could improve safety for medical staff.
