To investigate whether omitting systemic anticoagulation during transradial coronary angiography and/or a distal radial access reduce the risk of postprocedural radial artery occlusion
Study Type

Masking
NONE
Enrollment
400
Distal radial access and No anticoagulation
Distal radial access and ACT-guided anticoagulation
Occurrence of postprocedural radial artery occlusion
Will be the occurrence of postprocedural radial artery occlusion assessed with high-resolution vascular ultrasound. Experienced sonographers will perform color Doppler ultrasound in all study patients after removal of the compression device to examine the radial, ulnar, and brachial arteries of the access forearm.
Time frame: Day 1
Sonographic characteristics of radial artery occlusion
Occlusion lengths or minimal residual perfusion
Time frame: 3 Month
