Safe and Fast Radial Hemostasis Using Synergistic Strategies: SAFE & FAST Trial

Summary

The Safe and Fast Radial Hemostasis using Synergistic Strategies (SAFE \& FAST) trial is an interventional study aimed at reducing the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) rebound bleeding, and the required compression time after transradial approach (TRA) procedures, which have become the default access for coronary procedures globally. The hypothesis is that combining lower-dose heparin and radial hemostasis with simultaneous ipsilateral ulnar artery compression could achieve these improved outcomes.
