ClinConnect Summary

The SAFE-BOX trial is a study looking at a new way to perform heart procedures called the distal radial approach. This method involves accessing the heart through the wrist, which may be safer and more comfortable for patients. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are at least 20 years old and need a coronary angiography or other heart interventions. To participate, patients must have a noticeable radial artery in their wrist that the doctors can easily feel.

If you decide to join the trial, you will be part of a group that helps researchers understand how safe and effective this new method is. The study is open to all genders, and it is important to note that some people may not be eligible, such as those with a very small or hard-to-find radial artery, pregnant women, or anyone the researcher feels is not suitable for the study. Your participation could contribute to finding better ways to treat heart conditions!
