About this study

Official title: distAl vs. coNventional Transradial Access for coRonary procEdures Study (ANTARES)

The distal transradial approach (dTRA) via the anatomical snuffbox is hypothesized to be more beneficial than the conventional transradial access (cTRA) in patients undergoing coronary procedures. This prospective single-center randomized trial was designed to investigate the safety, efficacy, and various ultrasound parameters of dTRA.

Read the detailed description

Transradial approach (TRA) has emerged in most countries as a default strategy in urgent and elective coronary procedures. The advantages of TRA compared to the transfemoral access encompass a reduction of mortality, complications, and cost as well as improvement of patient's comfort. The aim of the present study (ANTARES, distAl vs coNventional Transradial Access for coRonary procEdures Study) was to assess the feasibility, safety and various ultrasound parameters of dTRA in the anatomical snuffbox as the first-line strategy, in comparison with cTRA, in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study is a non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial. There are two arms: distal transradial access and conventional transradial approach.

400 patients were enrolled.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary composite endpoint consisted of rate of access crossover, rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and rate of access-related vascular complications.

    Access crossover from unsuccessful random arterial access (if the initial access point fails) to another one.

    Access-related complications after the procedure measured with Doppler Ultrasound (included radial artery occlusion, significant hematoma (EASY classification grade III-V), arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, perforation and spasm).

    MACE definied as myocardial infarction, stroke, urgent revascularization, all-cause death.

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. efficacy endpoint: rate of access crossover

    Access crossover from unsuccessful random arterial access (if the initial access point fails) to another one.

    Measured: during the procedure index

  2. safety endpoint: patients' discomfort evaluated during access performance

    physical discomfort at the time of vascular access performance was assessed using a numerical scale (0/1/2/3 - respectively no/mild/moderate/severe discomfort)

    Measured: during the procedure

  3. efficacy endpoint: duration of access performance

    (measured from the time of skin puncture with local anesthetic to the successful sheath insertion confirmed by an outflow of arterial blood)

    Measured: during the procedure index

  4. safety endpoint: access-site vascular complications

    it is composed by the rate of radial artery occlusion, significant hematoma (EASY classification grade III-V), arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, perforation and spasm; measured with Doppler Ultrasound

    Measured: after 24 hours post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing distal radial artery acess side and conventional radial artery acess side in people with Vascular Access Complication and Radial Artery, run by Łukasz Koziński at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary composite endpoint consisted of rate of access crossover, rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and rate of access-related vascular complications. (time frame: up to 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2023.
