Pressure-sensing sheath monitoring during neuroendovascular procedures

Official title: Accuracy and Safety Assessment of Pressure Sensing Sheath Blood Pressure Monitoring Compared to Traditional Invasive and Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Interventional Procedures: A Prospective, Single-Center, Self-Controlled Randomized Study

Run by Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital Tongji University · NCT07257367 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will see if a pressure-sensing sheath provides blood pressure readings that are as accurate and safe as a radial arterial line and a cuff for adults undergoing elective neuroendovascular procedures under general anesthesia.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) scheduled for elective transradial neuroendovascular procedures under general anesthesia who require continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring and can give informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications to radial artery access, hemodynamic instability, severe coagulopathy, very high BMI, or those requiring postoperative continuous invasive monitoring are unlikely to receive benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-center observational study enrolling 50 adult patients undergoing elective transradial neuroendovascular procedures requiring continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring. Blood pressure will be recorded simultaneously using three methods during the procedure: a pressure-sensing sheath, a standard radial arterial line, and a non-invasive cuff. The primary outcome is the accuracy of the sheath measurements compared with the radial arterial line, with secondary outcomes including access site complications, procedure duration, patient comfort, and cost-effectiveness. Results will be analyzed to compare agreement between methods and to document safety and workflow implications.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the pressure-sensing sheath could allow continuous arterial blood pressure monitoring without placing a separate radial arterial line, potentially reducing procedure time, patient discomfort, and arterial access complications.

How similar studies have gone: Prior small validation studies and device reports have shown promising agreement for intravascular pressure-sensing devices versus arterial lines, but evidence remains limited and not yet widely adopted.
