Distal access and procedural anticoagulation to prevent radial artery occlusion after coronary angiography – the randomised RAPID trial
While distal TRA did not reduce the risk of RAO, procedural AC proved effective in all patients undergoing transradial CAG including those on pre-existing oral AC. (Strategies to Maintain Radial Artery Patency Following Diagnostic Coronary Angiography [RAPID] trial; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04301921 [RAPID-1] and NCT04362020 [RAPID-2]).
