Brief summary

Randomized controlled trial for comparison of the hand dysfunction in coronary diagnosis and intervention via distal vs conventional radial access

Detailed description

Coronary diagnosis and intervention via distal radial access has gradually become an alternative access to the conventional radial access because of its advantages of reducing radial artery occlusion (RAO), shortening compression time, and decreasing patient discomfort. However, as awareness of distal radial access has increased, some patients have been found to have symptoms such as abnormal hand sensation and inflexibility after the procedure. The primary objective is to assess hand function after coronary diagnosis and intervention via distal vs conventional radial access at 24 hours and 1 month. Hand sensory and motor dysfunction will be assessed by: * Consultation and physical examination * Hand grip test * Hand pinch test (lateral pinch) * Monofilament sensory test * Quick DASH questionnaire * High-frequent ultrasound The other endpoints include the success rate of puncture, the success rate of single-attempt puncture, time of puncture, procedural duration, duration of hemostasis, vascular complication, etc.

Interventions

PROCEDUREConventional radial artery access

Half of the patients enrolled in the study undergoing coronary diagnosis and intervention will be randomized conventional radial access for cardiac catheterization.

Half of the patients enrolled in the study undergoing coronary diagnosis and intervention will be randomized distal radial access for cardiac catheterization.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hand Numbness24 hours after procedureNumber of participants with the hand numbness is evaluated through clinical consultations at 24 hours after procedure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Thumb and Index Finger Pinch Test24 hours before and after procedure, 1 month after procedureThumb and forefinger lateral pinch strength (kg)
Hand Grip Test24 hours before and after procedure, 1 month after procedureHand grip strength test (kg)
Late-term Hand Numbness1 month after procedureNumber of participants with the hand numbness is evaluated through clinical consultations at 1 month after procedure.
Nerve Injury24 hours and 1 month after procedureNumber of participants with the nerve injury is detected using high-frequent ultrasound or electromyography at 24 hours after procedure, and patients with nerve injury at 1 month follow-up will be recorded.
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scale (0-10)24 hours after procedurePain assessment. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
Hand Paresthesia24 hours and 1 month after procedureNumber of participants with the hand paresthesia is assessed using monofilament test and/or two-point discrimination test at 24 hours after procedure, and patients with hand paresthesia at 1 month follow-up will be recorded.
Hand Clumsiness24 hours and 1 month after procedureNumber of participants with the hand clumsiness at 24 hours after procedure, and patients with hand clumsiness at 1 month follow-up will be recorded.
Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire (0-100)24 hours before procedure and 1 month after procedureUpper extremity dysfunction questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater dysfunction.
