Radial Access Data in Vascular Interventions: A Prospective Observational Registry Study

What this Trial Is About

The RADIUS study is a prospective observational registry focused on collecting real-world data about radial and ulnar artery access during percutaneous vascular interventions. It aims to evaluate procedural details, access-site complications, procedural success, and short-term clinical outcomes associated with these access methods. The study highlights the growing use of radial and ulnar access techniques as alternatives to traditional femoral access, given their potential benefits in patient safety and comfort. Patients undergoing routine percutaneous vascular interventions via radial or ulnar artery access at Mersin Medical Park Hospital will be consecutively enrolled from May 2026 through May 2031. The registry collects demographic, clinical, angiographic, procedural, and post-procedural data as part of standard clinical care. Expansion to multiple centers is planned following regulatory approvals, but no experimental treatments or devices are involved. Participants will have data collected from procedural reports, hospital records, and clinical evaluations covering variables such as cardiovascular risks, comorbidities, procedural duration, fluoroscopy time, contrast volume, and complications. Researchers will monitor outcomes including radial artery occlusion, spasm, vascular complications, procedural success, crossover rates, bleeding, length of hospital stay, and more for up to one year after the procedure. The study is purely observational and integrates with routine care without altering treatment plans.
