Popis: Background The radial approach for cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty is well established. The prevalence of radial artery occlusion and its determining factors still raises debate. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of radial artery occlusion after cardiac procedures using the radial approach, comparing hemostasis done by elastic compression dressing or hemostatic wristband. Methods A randomized clinical trial comparing the incidence of radial artery occlusion as established by palpation and vascular Doppler, upon discharge and [...]
