Accelerated patent hemostasis using a procoagulant disk; a protocol designed to minimize the risk of radial artery occlusion following cardiac catheterization
Abstract
Purpose
Radial artery occlusion flowing cardiac catheterisation has been linked to flow reduction and prolonged compression. We investigate whether these factors can be optimised following transradial cardiac catheterisation by using an accelerated band removal protocol facilitated by a haemostasis promoting pad, in combination with a patent haemostasis technique.
