Summary
Single-center study, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, with patients undergoing
diagnostic or therapeutic catheterization via the transradial approach. Patients will be
randomized into two groups: one group will receive the vasodilator nitroglycerin during the
procedure (intervention group), and a second group will receive saline 0.9% in the same
volume and time during the procedure (control group).
Will be evaluated: incidence of spasms of the radial artery, ability to perform the procedure
without the need to change the access site, pain presented by the patient, time and total
radiation of the procedure.
