Randomized Evaluation of Vascular Entry Site and Radiation Exposure: REVERE Trial

Total Cardiovascular Solutions1,500 enrolled

Overview

The study compares radiation exposure parameters between coronary angiography procedures performed by left wrist, right wrist or groin (femoral) procedure access site

Patients referred for coronary angiography will be randomized to either left radial, right radial or femoral arterial access sites, and the coronary angiogram will be performed in a standard fashion, including left ventriculography. Radiation exposure parameters including Air Kerma, Dose-area product, Fluoroscopy time and Operator radiation exposure will be recorded. Operator experience as well as demographic data will be recorded.
