Remote conditioning for safer heart bypass recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are diagnosed with coronary artery disease and are scheduled for off-pump heart bypass surgery.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your heart pumps well (ejection fraction over 40%) and the main pumping chamber is not enlarged (less than 60 mm).
- You do not have severe heart valve problems or other major blood vessel issues that need surgery.
- You have not had prior vagus nerve surgery or a vagus nerve block, and you don't have severe injuries, bleeding problems, or cancer.

This study tests a special technique for heart bypass surgery that avoids clamping the aorta. It may help people with hardened arteries in the aorta who need bypass surgery but are not good candidates for standard clamping.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive procedure on your arm can change certain substances in your blood. It may help researchers understand how to protect the body from injury.
This trial tests a treatment that uses a blood pressure cuff on your arms to try to protect your brain and organs after your heart stopped outside the hospital. You will be in the intensive care unit, and the study will check if this simple 'remote conditioning' can improve recovery.
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.
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.
