Clinical Trial Summary

Transradial cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention are increasingly being performed worldwide in elective and emergency procedures, with many centres adopting the transradial route as their first choice of arterial access. One of the most common complications encountered during transradial procedures is radial artery spasm. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the use of transdermal Glyceryl trinitrate patches applied to skin before cardiac catheterization to prevent the occurrence of radial artery spasm during transradial access cardiac catheterization.
