NCT ID NCT05725616

First seen Nov 25, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tested whether doing a heart artery scan (coronary angiography) through a small spot on the back of the hand (the snuff box) works as well as the usual wrist method. 326 adults scheduled for a diagnostic scan took part. The goal was to see if the snuff box approach could be a good alternative without needing to switch methods.
