Remote ischemic per-conditioning—causing transient limb ischemia to induce ischemic tolerance in other organs—reduces final infarct size in animal stroke models and seems to have a neuroprotective effect in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients have been randomized to lower limb remote ischemic per-conditioning or sham group.
Remote ischemic per-conditioning consists of four cycles of electronic tourniquet inflation 5 min and deflation 5 min to a thigh within 6 h of symptom onset. Randomization has been stratified on IV thrombolysis. Mechanical thrombectomy was allowed.
MRI was repeated 24 h after stroke onset. The design has been published in Int J Of Stroke. A total of patients have been randomized 97 in the experimental arm and in the sham arm. Mean age was Main results will be presented at the session. The ClinicalTrials. Price 1 , L. Shaw 1 , P. Dodd 2 , C. Exley 3 , D. Flynn 4 , R. Francis 1 , S. Islam 5 , M.
