Occlusion of Artery
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluating the effect of ulnar artery compression while pressing on radial artery to stop bleeding, in maintaining radial artery potency, after cardiac catheterization through the radial artery. We prospectively plan to compare 3000 patients referred for cardiac catheterization, randomized into two groups, one group receiving radial artery compression for stopping bleeding, in a standard fashion following best practices, and the other group receiving radial artery compression using standard best practices and ulnar artery compression. Radial artery status will be evaluated in 24 hours and 30 days of the procedure to evaluate its potency, using plethysmography.
