Popis: Background Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common complication following transradial approach (TRA) for cardiac catheterization. Our aim was to assess if decreasing radial hemostatic device (RHD) time reduces the risk of RAO among individuals receiving small sheath sizes with no adjunctive heparin. Methods We randomized 450 individuals undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization via the TRA to 3 durations of RHD time: 10, 20 or 30 minutes. After this time period, the RHD was gradually released over 20 minutes. The primary efficacy endpoint was forearm hematoma grade ≥2 (5-10 cm) and the primary safety endpoint was RAO (as determined by Doppler ultrasound) one-hour post RHD removal (pre-discharge). Results The mean age was 66 years and 64% were male. 5 French sheaths were used in all patients. Hematoma grade ≥2 occurred only in 1 patient in the 20 minutes groups (P=0.39). RAO occurred in 6.7% of patients in the 10 minute group, 10.7% in the 20 minute group and 6% in the 30 minute group (P=0.26). Conclusion Among patients receiving small caliber sheaths without adjunctive heparin, the incidence of forearm hematoma and RAO are low. Shorter durations of RHD time did not further reduce the risk of these complications. Brief summary We assessed if reducing radial hemostatic device (RHD) time decreases the risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO) in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization via the trasradial approach while small size sheaths and no heparin are used. We randomized 450 individuals into 3 durations of RHD time: 10, 20 or 30 minutes. The incidence of forearm hematoma and RAO were low and not different between groups.
