Wrist access for heart procedures under the microscope: 3,600 patients enrolled
NCT ID NCT05776550
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is a registry that will track 3,600 patients who need coronary angiography or intervention (like stenting) using the distal radial artery in the wrist. Researchers want to see how often the procedure is successful and how often complications occur. It does not test a new drug or device, but aims to gather real-world data on this access technique.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that using the distal radial artery is a safe and effective standard approach for coronary procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so it cannot prove superiority over other access methods. Results may not apply to all patients.
