Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: -Presenting for TransRadial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (TR-PCI) at the study centre. -The radial artery can be palpated and Doppler ultrasound examination of the radial artery shows non-occlusive flow.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: -Currently enrolled in another study that clinically interferes with the current study and that has not passed the primary endpoint. -The presenting condition prohibits or hinders informed consent and/or baseline examinations, such as a subconscious or semiconscious state, cardiogenic shock or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. -Co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the subject*s ability to participate in the study or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific integrity of the study, e.g. loss of voluntary motor control of the studies extremities
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To answer the main objective of this study the following composite endpoint will be evaluated at two weeks: • A binary score of upper extremity dysfunction. A positive score is defined as the presence of at least a >=1 point increase in either the symptom-severity score or the functional-status score of the Levine-Katz (Boston) questionnaire or at least two of the following decreased scores two weeks after TR-PCI: o >=15% decrease in the *Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand* outcome measure (DASH) compared to baseline. o Increase in Visual Analogue Scale pain score (VAS) with regard to the upper extremity of >=2 points compared to baseline. o Absent signal when evaluating the radial artery using Doppler ultrasound examination. o >=10% decrease in active range of motion (AROM) goniometry of the upper extremity compared to baseline with a minimum decrease of 10o. o Strength * >=60N decrease in palmar grip strength compared to baseline. * >=12N decrease in pinch grip strength compared to baseline. * >=15% decrease in isometric strength of the following maneuvers compared to baseline: • Flexion and extension of the elbow. • Flexion and extension of the wrist. o At least one filament decrease in sensibility of the hand using Semmes-Weinstein filaments according to WEST compared to baseline. o >=1cm increase at volumetry of the hand using the Figure of eight-method to baseline. o >=1cm increase at volumetry of the forearm measured circumferentially 8cm distal of the medial epicondyle. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints can be divided in cardiac and upper extremity related endpoints. • Cardiac related secondary endpoints o Successful arterial access of the target radial artery o Percentage of cross-over from radial to femoral access o Presence of angulation, tortuosity, stenosis or spasm o Access route complications, dissection or perforation of radial, brachial or subclavian artery o Procedural success (defined as | — |
