Clinical Trial: Prospective Registry on Vascular Access in Interventions in Lazio Region

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Prospective Registry on Vascular Access in Interventions in Lazio Region

Brief Summary:

Previous randomised studies showed that radial artery catheterisation for percutaneous cardiovascular procedures has a superior safety profile than femoral access, however the confirmation of these benefits in the real world by a large, specific, observational study is still lacking.

We endeavoured to assess the access site-related outcomes of any percutaneous cardiovascular procedure by designing a prospective registry monitoring a consecutive sample of patients in a short period of time at nine Roman hospitals reflecting the contemporary state of health care.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: San Filippo Neri General Hospital

Current Primary Outcome: Cumulative incidence of: (a) major and minor bleedings, (b) access site vascular complications, (c) stroke [ Time Frame: in-hospital ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Cumulative incidence of (a) death, (b) myocardial infarction or reinfarction [ Time Frame: in-hospital ]
