Key result
Systematic review evaluating hemostasis methods for RAO reports no results.
Why the study?
The effects of different hemostasis methods on radial artery occlusion rates after radial artery access for percutaneous coronary procedures were unclear.
Systematic Review
Limited evidence supports any single hemostasis method for RAO prevention; leaves open optimal protocols pending larger multicenter trials.
REVIEW QUESTION/OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review is to synthesize the best available research evidence related to the effects of methods used to achieve hemostasis on radial artery occlusion (RAO) rates, following the radial artery approach for percutaneous coronary procedures.The specific review question is as follows: What is the effect of methods used to achieve hemostasis post sheath removal on RAO rates in adult patients, following the radial artery approach for percutaneous coronary procedures?

Fernandez et al. (2016) conducted a systematic review in Radial artery occlusion. Methods to achieve hemostasis post sheath removal was evaluated on Radial artery occlusion (RAO) rates. The abstract outlines the objective for a systematic review evaluating methods to achieve hemostasis on radial artery occlusion rates, with no results reported.
