Remote Ischemic Postconditioning. Can it Prevent Myocardial Injury During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Remote ischemic postconditioning and Control group for Myocardial Reperfusion Injury. Completed, enrolled 266 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the phenomenon of remote ischemic post-conditioning in humans. The minor myocardial damage associated with percutaneous revascularization procedures may be attenuated by producing controlled ischemia in the arms immediately after carrying out these procedures (remote ischemic post-conditioning). The justification and design of this clinical trial has been reported: Cardiology. 2011;119(3):164-9.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients assigned to remote ischemic postconditioning will undergo three 5-minute cycles of ischemia using a blood-pressure cuff at 200 mmHg, placed on the non-dominant arm, interrupted twice for 5 minutes with the cuff deflated
In the control group the procedure will be limited to placing a deflated blood-pressure cuff (pressure: 0 mmHg) for 25 minutes.
