Protein misfolding and aggregation as a mechanistic link between chronic pain and neurodegenerative diseases
No full textComparison of radial artery compression techniques in contemporary cardiovascular practice: The RAVE trial
No full textBackground: The shorter time to hemostasis in patients who undergo transradial cardiac catheterization may reduce the complications, cause less pain, facilitate early discharge, and improve patient satisfaction.
Objective: This trial aimed to evaluate if SoftSeal-STF (Chitogen Inc., Plymouth, MN) with manual compression alone or in combination with a radial compression device (RCD) would reduce time to hemostasis compared to patients with RCD only (Vasc Band).
Methods: We enrolled 300 patients in four arms, including SoftSeal-STF with manual compression, Vasc Band (standard of care), SoftSeal-STF with TR Band, and SoftSeal-STF with EasyClik. This study was analyzed as an observational study due to modification in the design of a randomized trial. The primary outcome was time to hemostasis; the secondary outcomes were complications before discharge, a 3 day follow-up, and a follow-up office visit (30–45 days postprocedure).
Results: The median time to hemostasis (interquartile range [IQR]) was significantly lower in the SoftSeal-STF + TR Band group and the SoftSeal-STF + EasyClik group than in the Vasc Band group (45 [40–69] minutes vs. 120 [120–124] minutes, p \u3c 0.0001; 44 [40–58.5] minutes vs. 120 [120–124] minutes, p \u3c 0.0001, respectively). The median time to hemostasis (IQR) was not different between SoftSeal-STF + TR Band and SoftSeal-STF + EasyClik (45 [40–69] minutes vs. 44 [40–58.5] minutes, p = 0.3). The median time to hemostasis (IQR) was lowest in the SoftSeal-STF + manual compression group (19 [15–30] minutes), but these patients had more postoperative pain and bruising along with logistic issues within the catheterization lab.
Conclusion: The SoftSeal-STF + RCD is a safe and time-efficient strategy in patients who undergo transradial cardiac catheterization. (Radial Artery Vascular Complication and Resource Utilization [RAVE]).
