Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Blood Pressure and Heart Rates;

    at the time points of baseline and 1, 15 and 30 days after BLIPC treatment

  • Plasma Biomarkers of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis

    blood samples were collected one hour after every times of BLIPC procedure ended, and assayed with the immuno-turbidimetry assay on the coagulation laboratory autoanalyzer

    the time points of baseline and 1, 15 and 30 days after BLIPC treatment

  • Number of Patients Who Got New Brain Lesions

    We compared the number of patients who got new lesions in the Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI)

    300 days after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The Time Point Until the First Stroke Recurrence,

    At the 300-day after the initial treatment

  • Brain Perfusion Improvement Are Evaluated With SPECT and TCD

    300-day after treatment

Study Arms (2)

RIPC+stroke secondary prevension

EXPERIMENTAL

Procedure/Surgery: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) The detail of RIPC included five cycles of bilateral upper limbs 5/5 min. of ischemia and reperfusion alternation. Limb ischemia was induced by inflating tourniquets to 200 mmHg. This process was placed on both arms every day. Procedure:stroke secondary prevention(Such as Antiplatelet therapy, Cholesterol-lowering therapymaintain blood pressure and blood sugar normal)

  • ABCD2 score between 6 to 7
  • Stable vital signs, normal hepatic and renal functions,
  • No hemorrhagic tendencies.

You may not qualify if:

  • Within 72 hrs of intra-artery or intravenous thrombolysis
  • Intracranial hemorrhage or large area of cerebral infarction (more than 1/3 middle cerebral artery perfusion territory)
  • Any soft tissue, orthopedic, or vascular injury, wounds or fractures in extremities which may pose a contraindication for application of the preconditioning cuffs
  • Acute myocardial infarction

  • Peripheral blood vessel disease
  • Hematologic disease
  • Severe hepatic and renal dysfunction
  • Severe or unstable concomitant disease
  • Cannot tolerate BLIPC or without informed consent
  • Patients who did not complete the whole treatment procedure.
