Condition(s) targeted: Cardiac Catheterization; Spasm

Intervention: Nitroglycerin and lidocaine (Drug); Placebo (Other)

Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: University of California, San Francisco

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Andrew Boyle, MBBS, PhD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: University of California, San Francisco

Summary

The aim of the study is to facilitate radial artery access for cardiac catheterization. The investigators hypothesize that topical nitroglycerin and lidocaine will reduce radial artery spasm. Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization via the radial artery will be randomized to topical nitroglycerin + lidocaine versus placebo.

Clinical Details

Official title: The Effect of Topical Administration of Lidocaine/Nitroglycerin Combination Versus Placebo on Radial Artery Access in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization Via the Radial Artery

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Change in Radial Artery Diameter

Secondary outcome:

Radial Artery Spasm During Catheterization

Radial Artery Patency
