New thinner sheath could make heart procedures safer for small arteries

NCT ID NCT07410364

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a thinner tube (6-French Glidesheath Slender) can make heart procedures safer for people with small wrist arteries. About 594 adults with coronary artery disease will be randomly assigned to get the standard tube or the thinner one through a wrist access point. The main goal is to see if the thinner tube reduces the chance of the wrist artery getting blocked after the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

6-French Glidesheath Slender sheath (a thinner tube used during heart catheter procedures)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make heart procedures safer and more comfortable for people with small wrist arteries, lowering the risk of artery blockage afterward.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center study with 594 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The thinner sheath might still cause complications or be harder to use.
