NCT03305094

Brief Summary

The study objective is to verify if a non-invasive remote ischemic preconditioning procedure (blood pressure cuff on the arm) is cardioprotective when applied before an aortic valve replacement surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in biochemical markers of myocardial ischemia

    Troponin T-HS and CK-MB concentration

    6, 12, 24 and 48 hours post-operatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Post-operative complications

    post-operatively until 30 days

Study Arms (2)

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sham remote ischemic preconditioning on the right arm is induced with a blood pressure cuff inflation at 20 mm Hg for 5 min and followed by a 5 min reperfusion at 0 mm Hg. The sham ischemia-reperfusion cycle is performed 3 times for a total of 30 min. This procedure is done after anesthetic induction, but before the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. A 20 mm Hg blood pressure cuff on the right arm does not induce ischemia.

Procedure: Blood pressure cuff inflation

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Remote ischemic preconditioning on the right arm is induced with a blood pressure cuff inflation at 200 mm Hg for 5 min and followed by a 5 min reperfusion at 0 mm Hg. The ischemia-reperfusion cycle is performed 3 times for a total of 30 min. This procedure is done after anesthetic induction, but before the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Procedure: Blood pressure cuff inflation

Interventions

Cuff pressure for ischemia sham is 20 mm Hg, ischemia is 200 mm Hg and reperfusion is 0 mm Hg

Control groupIntervention group
