U.S., April 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06931171) titled 'Zero-cost Radiation Protection Method to Reduce Radiation Exposure of Interventional Cardiologists During Transradial Percutaneous Coronary Procedures (FREEPADRAD Trial)' on Feb. 13.

Brief Summary: Ionising radiation is a recognised occupational hazard in interventional cardiology. This prospective, randomised trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of additional radiation protection by existing devices but with a different use, specifically the use of medical lead aprons (designed and used to be worn by the medical and nursing staff for radiation protection) covering the patient's lower abdominal and pelvic area during transradia...
