Using brief arm treatment before bypass surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a simple, remote “arm treatment” given before scheduled aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery can help protect blood flow during surgery. If you fit the surgery plan and don’t have certain excluded conditions, the study may offer an added protective approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having elective (planned) aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery
- Your surgery is for aneurysm or for Leriche syndrome (blockage affecting the leg arteries)
- Your surgery is not urgent or emergency surgery
- Your bypass will not use a deep vein graft
- This is not a repeat operation on the same bypass site
- You do not already have obstructive sleep apnea treated with CPAP

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can help patients recover better after off-pump heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces complications and improves heart function.
This study tests whether a simple arm-cuff procedure done before heart bypass surgery can help protect the heart in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if this technique reduces complications during and after the operation.
This trial tests whether a simple technique that briefly cuts off blood flow to the arm (like a blood pressure cuff) before heart surgery can protect the body from harmful inflammation and reduce organ damage. This might help patients recover better after surgery.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can improve the safety and effectiveness of surgery for a chronically blocked carotid artery. It may help protect your brain during and after the procedure.
This trial studies whether different circulatory support techniques during coronary artery bypass surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It may help find ways to protect brain function during the procedure.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
