- English speaking

- able to provide informed consent

- is able to read the English language (however, if a patient is not able to read due

- candidates for both femoral and radial access as defined by the pre-assessment
checklist and subsequently approved by their treating physician

Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Atherosclerosis
Coronary Artery Disease
Intervention(s)
Behavioral: Vascular Access Decision Aid
Primary Outcome(s)
The primary outcome involves evaluation of the decision process leading to decision quality as assessed by the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS). The DCS is a validated scale that has been used in more than 30 PtDA studies across different decisions. [Time Frame: 1 Day]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Access site Complications (Significant bleeding, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, or vascular compromise requiring intervention) [Time Frame: 1 day]
Angiographic Success (PCI) as determined by interventionalist performing the procedure. [Time Frame: 1 day]
Improved knowledge and accurate risk perception of the patient's health care option assessed by a pre-discharge questionnaire. [Time Frame: 1 Day]
Improved value congruence with the patient's chosen option as assessed by a pre-discharge questionnaire. [Time Frame: 1 Day]
Procedural time (minutes) [Time Frame: 1 day]
Vascular access success-ability to successfully gain vascular access through the selected site (radial versus femoral). [Time Frame: 1 Day]
