Upper Extremity Dysfunction Post Radial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Upper Extremity Dysfunction Clinical Trial

Official title: Upper Extremity Dysfunction Post Radial PCI: A Cohort Study Evaluating Upper Extremity Dysfunction After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using the Radial Artery as Access Route

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Trans-Radial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (TR-PCI) is rapidly becoming the gold standard. This is especially the case in primary Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI), where most benefits of the radial approach, such as reduced major bleeding and mortality, can be expected. However there is very limited research available looking at the consequences of trans-radial access for upper extremity function.

The main objective of this study is to provide insight in the morbidity with regards to the upper extremity surrounding the radial access route in percutaneous coronary interventions. Secondary objectives are to provide insight in the consequences for functional status, factors influencing and financial costs of this morbidity, to identify subject who might benefit from early referral and treatment of this morbidity and to generate hypotheses for further clinical research into this matter.

The investigators hypothesis is that approximately 20% of the population will experience upper extremity dysfunction after TR-PCI.
