Stopped: Pre-specified interim analysis on data from 2,000 patients by an independent DMSC: recruitment to be stopped early for overwhelming superiority of one of the 3 randomised treatment arms, in the absence of any safety concerns.
The purpose of this study is to compare different protocols aimed at achieving haemostasis (i.e. stop the bleeding) in patients undergoing heart procedures with access through the wrist. Specifically, a haemostatic dressing that aids clotting at the level of the skin will be used and compared with a normal absorbent dressing. Also, a shorter time of compression required to stop the bleeding at the access site will be evaluated.
