Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in ad Hoc Percutaneous Coronary Interventions: a Randomized Clinical Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 94 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with troponin release in approximately one third of cases. Myocardial necrosis may result from downstream embolization of atheromatous material, coronary side-branch occlusion and may involve ischemia/reperfusion injury. The investigators hypothesized that a single remote ischemic preconditioning cycle would reduce peri-procedural troponin release.

Interventions
Patients are subjected to a 5-minute ischemia of the non-dominant arm with the use of a blood pressure cuff (inflated at 200mm Hg)
