RADIATION PROTECT is a randomized, controlled trial of patients undergoing coronary angiography or PCI with or without a pelvic lead shield. Interventional cardiologists who will perform the procedure will wear a radiation protection cap in all procedures.
It is hypothesized that routine use of the pelvic lead shield and radiation protection cap during these procedures will reduce the amount of radiation in which the interventional cardiologists get exposed.
Patients referred for coronary angiography or PCI will be randomized to undergo their procedure with or without the pelvic lead shield and the operator will wear a radiation protection cap.
Clinical efficacy will be assessed based on the total radiation dose that the interventional cardiologist got exposed to as well as a secondary outcome measuring the total radiation exposure dose per minute.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without Lead Shield | No Intervention | All routine measures to reduce radiation exposure (including lead aprons, lead collar, lead lenses, movable ceiling suspended lead shield with a long lead skirt attached to its lower margin) will be used as done routinely and will be left to the operators' discretion. The LEAD SHIELD will not be used in this group. Interventional cardiologists who will perform the procedure will wear a radiation protection cap in all procedures. | |
| With Lead Shield | Experimental | All routine measures to reduce radiation exposure (including lead aprons, lead collar, lead lenses, movable ceiling suspended lead shield with a long lead skirt attached to its lower margin) will be used as done routinely and will be left to the operators' discretion. In this group, a LEAD SHIELD will be used. The Pelvic lead shield will be draped on patient from umbilicus to knees. Interventional cardiologists who will perform the procedure will wear a radiation protection cap in all procedures. |
