Effect of Repeated Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Peripheral Arterial Disease in Patients Suffering from Intermittent Claudication

Abstract: Background/Objective Intermittent claudication (IC) is the symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and causes functional disability. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), is a phenomenon in which a short period of sub-critical ischemia, protects tissues against ischemia/reperfusion/injury. We considered to test the hypothesis that RIPC in PAD patients suffering from IC would increase muscle resistance to ischemia and thus improve walking-capacity. Materials/Methods A total of 63 patients with proven-IC un… Show more

“…Widening the inclusion and reducing the exclusion criteria might improve recruitment rates. Specifically, we excluded patients with a history of peripheral arterial vascular disease, although RVOS appears safe in such patients [ 86 , 87 , 88 ]. Another potential strategy to improve recruitment in a future RCT is to set up the study at multiple (>2) sites, although the protocol is highly demanding and participating centres might be unable to deliver the interventions and assessments per protocol.…”

“…Conceivable side effects of RIC such as thrombosis, arterial plaque rupture, nerve and vascular injury did not occur in any patient in the large phase III studies conducting a RIC protocol [8,9]. Here we describe a repetitive, chronic RIC application for 3 × 5 cycles (each with 5 min ischemia and 5 min reperfusion) on day 1, 3,5,8,10,12,15,17,19,21,24,26. The treatment and follow-up will be supported by two study nurses and a study diary to increase the patient compliance.…”

“…The mechanism of tissue/organ protection by RIC is mainly based on activation of neuronal efferences, systemic antiinflammatory responses and the release of humoral factors via the bloodstream [3,4]. Additionally, RIC might have a beneficial effect on chronic remodelling processes and angiogenesis which is highly relevant for treatment of PAOD [2,3,5,6].…”

“…Knowledge of the physiological response to aggression produced by surgical trauma provides effective treatment capacity in the event of complications. Surgical intervention causes endocrine, metabolic, autonomic, immunological, and hematologic changes [1]. Somatic and autonomic afferent nerve impulses generated at the site of injury activate the endocrine response, while the inflammatory and immune response, mediated by hormones, begins to develop.…”
