RADIATION PROTECTion With a Pelvic Lead Shield and a Radiation Protection Cap for Operators Performing Coronary Angiography or Intervention

RADIATION PROTECT is a randomized, controlled trial of patients undergoing coronary angiography or PCI with or without a pelvic lead shield. Interventional cardiologists who will perform the procedure will wear a radiation protection cap in all procedures. It is hypothesized that routine use of the pelvic lead shield and radiation protection cap during these procedures will reduce the amount of radiation in which the interventional cardiologists get exposed.
