- Brief Summary
Diagnostic imaging for vascular investigations and endovascular procedures frequently require the use of contrast medium. Besides contrast medium-induced hypersensitivity, an acute kidney injury can appear: the contrast-induced nephropathy (NPCI).
NPCI is associated with an increase of patients' morbidity and mortality. One of the conventional methods proposed to limit this NPCI is an oral administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) associated with hydration performed 12 hours before and 12 hours after the injection. However, in some patients this method cannot be performed due to a high risk of heart failure although they are generally at high risk of NPCI.
Recently, it has been shown, in a randomized trial, that remote ischemic preconditioning (several cycles of upper-arm ischemia-reperfusion with a pressure cuff inflator) associated with hydratation and NAC reduced the occurrence of NPCI after a coronary angiography as compared with NAC and hydration only. .
We hypothesized that the use of RIPC in patients at high risk of NPCI and who cannot receive NAC and hydratation (e.g. patients with aortic stenosis and eligible for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)) could be promising.
- Detailed Description
Study design :
Prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind, with RIPC procedure (Pre-CI) versus "SHAM" ischemic preconditioning (SHAM Pre -CI) (control). This test will follow the CONSORT Statement (http://www.consort-statement.org/).
This is a randomized, controlled, single-blind trial, assessing the incidence of NPCI (after a CTA ) between two group of patients, one receiving RIPC procedure and the other group receiving a "SHAM" RIPC (control group).
RIPC is accomplished by performing 4 cycles of alternating 5-minute inflation and 5-minute deflation of a standard upper-arm blood pressure cuff, to induce transient and repetitive arm ischemia and reperfusion.
RIPC will be started just before the CTA, and the time between the last inflation cycle and the beginning of the CTA will be less than 45 minutes. The "SHAM" RIPC will be carried out with the same number of cycles that the RIPC but cuff will be inflated to the diastolic pressure of the subject and the cuff will be deflated to10 mmHg in order to maintain a non- ischemic compression (blind patient protocol).
Main objective :
To assess the efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy (NPCI) after injected CT scanner in patients at high risk of NPCI.
Secondary objectives :
1. To assess the effects of RIPC on a second marker of renal failure (Cystatin C ) ;
2. To determine the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the RIPC (role of oxidative stress ; for the first 40 patients) ;
3. To assess the effect of RIPC on renal function after a second injection of contrast-medium during coronary angiography performed 2 to 4 days after the injected CTA ;
4. To assess the tolerance of RIPC procedure ;
5. To assess the impact on mortality at 6 months.

Group Intervention Description SHAM remote ischemic preconditioning SHAM Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (SHAM RIPC) The SHAM Remote Ischemic Preconditioning ("SHAM" RIPC) will be carried out with the same number of cycles that the RIPC but cuff will be inflated to the diastolic pressure of the subject and the cuff will be deflated to10 mmHg in order to maintain a non- ischemic compression (blind patient protocol). Remote ischemic preconditioning Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is accomplished by performing 4 cycles of alternating 5-minute inflation and 5-minute deflation of a standard upper-arm blood pressure cuff, to induce transient and repetitive arm ischemia and reperfusion.
