Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Aortic Valve Surgery
- Conditions
- Aortic Valve Stenosis
- Interventions
- Procedure: ControlProcedure: Remote ischemic preconditioning
- Registration Number
- NCT01390129
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Angers
- Brief Summary
RIP-VALVE is a randomized, single blinded study that will test the hypothesis that remote ischemic preconditioning initiated before surgery reduces post-operative myocardial damage in aortic valve surgery. Infarct size will be determined by 72 hours area under curve of troponin-I.
- Detailed Description
The hypothesis tested in this research proposal is that remote ischemic preconditioning initiated immediately before aortic valve surgery reduces myocardial damage related to surgery.
