Remote arm treatment to help blood flow after heart bypass
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a simple, at-home type of treatment using brief arm blood-flow changes can improve blood flow to the heart and outcomes after CABG (heart bypass surgery). It may help some people recover better by protecting the heart around the time of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart artery disease with three blocked artery areas, and you are planning CABG surgery
- You are able to tolerate remote ischemic preconditioning (the arm treatment used in the study)
- You do not have severe blood vessel disease in your arms that could affect the arm treatment
- You do not have an emergency heart situation or a recent heart attack with cardiogenic shock in the past 30 days
- Your blood pressure is not severely uncontrolled (must be under 180/120)
- You can safely take part in the study: no severe liver, kidney, or lung disease; you can cooperate and consent; and you are not pregnant

This study tests whether a simple, noninvasive procedure called Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) — where a blood pressure cuff is briefly tightened on an arm or leg — can improve long-term recovery for people who have had a heart attack. The treatment is done many times over a long period to see if it helps the heart heal and reduces future problems.
This trial studies whether doing “remote ischemic preconditioning” (repeated brief conditioning of a limb) and mindfulness helps people with mild high blood pressure over the long term. It may help lower blood pressure and improve heart-related health, if you can safely do the required activities.
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 trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
This trial tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) to improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm and compression boots on your legs to help your brain recover.
