Renal PRotection Against Contrast mEdium-induced nephroPathy in High Risk Patients undErgoing Coronary Angiography

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Contrast Medium-induced Renal Insufficiency
Renal Insufficiency
Registration Number
NCT02463604
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Angers
Brief Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning on preventing contrast medium-induced nephropathy in a population of high risk patients undergoing coronary angiography. Half of participants will receive a preconditioning procedure while the other half will receive a sham procedure.

Detailed Description

Contrast medium-induced nephropathy has a big impact on clinical outcomes in patients suffering from renal insufficiency who undergo percutaneous coronary interventions.

Remote ischemic preconditioning is proved to protect myocardium in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary angiography.

We will evaluate the effect of remote preconditioning on renal protection.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Increase in serum creatinin level (≥25% or 0,5mg/dL)48h after coronary angiography

Serum creatinin level is measured 48h after coronary angiography to assess contrast medium-induced nephropathy

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum creatinin level is measured 12 months after coronary angiography and major adverse events are collected to assess long-term effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on renal function12 months after coronary angiography
