Preventing Myocardial Ischemia by Preconditioning in Elective Operation for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Phase 1

• Conditions: Aortic Aneurysm

• Registration Number: NCT01523262
• Lead Sponsor: Aarhus University Hospital

Brief Summary

Primary To investigate whether peripheral predonditioning induced by brief, intermittent constriction of blood supply to an arm can reduce the incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia in patients operated electively for infrarenal aortic aneurysm.

Secondary To investigate the impact of peripheral preconditioning on perioperative inflammatory response.

To investigate whether peripheral preconditoning can protect against perioperative myocardial infarction and reduced cardiac pump function.
