Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Cold Crystalloid Cardioplegic Arrest

Summary

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) with transient upper limb ischemia/reperfusion reduces myocardial injury in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery with cross-clamp fibrillation or blood cardioplegia for myocardial protection. The present study assesses protection of heart, brain and kidney by RIPC under crystalloid cardioplegic arrest. The study also addresses safety and clinical outcome.
