Cardio- and Renoprotective Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT02313441
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

Myocyte necrosis occurs frequently in elective percutanious percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. This study assessed the cardio- and reno-protective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing elective PCI. 200 patients were randomized into 2 groups: 100 patients received RIPC (created by three 5-minute inflations of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg around the upper arm, separated by 5-minute intervals of reperfusion) \< 2 hours before the PCI procedure, and the control group (n = 100).

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients between 18 and 85 years of age,
  • scheduled to undergo an elective PCI and
  • able to give an informed consent were eligible for enrollment in the study.
  • Elective PCI was defined as any coronary revascularization in a low-risk patient who presents to the facility for a planned PCI or for a coronary angiogram followed by ad hoc PCI.
Exclusion Criteria

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of PCI- related myocardial infarction (MI 4a) at 24 hours after PCI.24 hours

PCI-related myocardial infarction (MI 4a) was defined as cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) elevation \>0.20ng/mL (5 times the upper reference limit) 24 hr. post PCI.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) at 72 hours after contrast exposure72 hours

CIN was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine level of more than 0.5 mg/dl or more than 25 % from baseline within 3 days after procedure without any other identifiable cause of acute kidney injury.
