The use of RIPC immediately prior to PCI attenuates procedure-related cTnT release and does not affect occurrence of post procedural MI, CKMB, or CRP levels.

However, in high-risk patients with complex coronary artery disease (≥33 SYNTAX/>5 euroSCORE), coronary artery bypass grafting is superior to hybrid coronary revascularization.
