Registration Number
NCT04779008
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Remote Ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been reported to improve myocardial microcirculation, promote collateral circulation recruitment, and improve myocardial perfusion in patients.Two large randomized controlled trials demonstrated a perioperative cardioprotective effect of RIPC (reduced troponin levels), but did not find that a single preoperative RIPC improved long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).The effect of a single RIPC before CABG may be too short. This study aims to investigate whether long-term RIPC improved myocardial perfusion in patients 3 months and 6 months after CABG surgery , and to detect changes in blood vascular endothelial growth factor, Nitrc Oxide, adenosine,and Endothelin-1, and to observe MACCE event rates at 12 months.

Detailed Description

A total of 210 patients were randomly divided into three groups according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with 70 patients in each group.

Experimental Group 1:

The patient underwent one RIPC (Four five-minute cycles of upper limb ischaemia and Four five-minute pauses using a blood pressure cuff air vehicle to 200 mmHg) 1 hours before surgery, then normal surgery, and RIPC was performed on the second day after surgery and every day after surgery, which lasted for 1 year.

Experiment Group 2:

Patients underwent once RIPC 1 hours before surgery, and then normal medical procedures were performed with no additional intervention.

Control group:

Patients did not receive any additional intervention. All patients were evaluated in three ways. First: 7days and 3 months after surgery , the quantitative examination of myocardial blood flow was conducted to observe the improvement of myocardial blood perfusion.

Second: The changes in the concentrations of vascular colorectal growth factor, Nitrc Oxide, adenosine, and endothelin-1.

Third, patients were evaluated for 6 months and 12months MACCE incidence (cardiovascular death, Nonfatal myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization, and stroke).
