Comparison of 2 Hemostasis Techniques After Transradial Coronary

Effect of Two Compression Devices on the Occurrence of Artery Occlusion After Transradial Cardiac Catheterization: Randomized Clinical Trial

Randomized clinical trial to compare radial artery patency after transradial coronary catheterization using 2 different hemostasis techniques. Patients submitted to diagnostic or therapeutic coronary catheterization will be prospectively enrolled in this single-center trial and will be randomized to radial hemostasis with TerumoBand® or a standardized compressive dressing with gauze and elastic bandage.
