Safety and Efficacy of Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Patients Taking Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Safety and Efficacy of Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Patients Taking Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (IMPROVE): A National, Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled, Open-label, Blinded-endpoint Trial
First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University
648 participants
Nov 22, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the process of repeated ischemia and reperfusion in the peripheral vessels, which is proved in reducing IRI in vital organs. This IMPROVE trial plans to enroll 648 patients who are diagnosed with coronary artery disease and are going to take off-pump CABG in five centers in China, to access whether RIC can and improve short-term prognosis.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Diagnosed with coronary artery disease and require off-pump CABG surgery.
- Between 18 and 75 years old;
- Normal left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction \>40%) and left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter (\<60 mm) in the cardiac ultrasound tests;
- No or mild heart valve and great vessel abnormalities which do not require surgical intervention;
- Participants or their authorized relatives agree to participate in the clinical trial and sign the informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria13
- Severe tissue injuries.
- Myalgia, fractures and other peripheral vascular lesions.
- Bypass graft being the radial artery.
- Stenosis or severe malformations of the subclavian, jugular and femoral arteries and veins.
- Previous vagus nerve trunk dissection or vagus nerve block surgery.
- Other surgical operations at the same time.
- Patients with pre-existing severe cardiac insufficiency, acute coronary syndromes, malignant hypertension and cardiogenic shock.
- Severe coagulation abnormality or severe anemia.
- Severe mental disorder.
- Malignant tumors.
- Pregnant or lactating.
- Increased risk of treatment for patients, according to investigators.
- Refuse to sign the informed consent form.

Interventions
An automatic programmed blood pressure cuffs will be placed on two upper limbs of the patient and pressurized to 200 mmHg (or at least 20 mmHg higher than the systolic blood pressure if the systolic blood pressure of the patient is above 180 mmHg) with 5 minutes of pressurization and 5 minutes of rest. One pressurization with rest is deemed as one cycle (10 minutes), and 4 cycles will be performed each time (for a total of 40 minutes).
