Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of haemostasis with patency in avoiding radial artery occlusion after transradial catheterization.

Patients and Methods: Four hundred thirty-six consecutive patients undergoing transradial catheterization were prospectively enrolled in the study. Two hundred nineteen patients were randomized to group I, and underwent conventional pressure application for haemostasis. Two hundred seventeen patients were randomized to group II and underwent pressure application confirming radial artery patency using Barbeau’s test. Radial artery patency was
studied at 24 hr and 30 days using Barbeau’s test.

Conclusion: Patent haemostasis is highly effective in reducing radial artery occlusion after radial access and guided compression should be performed to maintain radial artery patency at the time of haemostasis, to prevent future radial artery occlusion.
