Remote ischemic preconditioning for urgent aortic dissection surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a simple arm-leg blood pressure cuff procedure before surgery can help protect organs during emergency repair of a torn aorta. It may reduce complications and improve recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having emergency surgery for a type A aortic dissection within 14 days of symptoms starting.
- You must be willing to come to follow-up visits and follow the study plan.

- You must not have severe kidney, liver, or bleeding problems.
- You must not have certain blood vessel conditions in your arms or legs, or have had surgery on those vessels.

This trial tests whether using platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood's healing cells) during open surgery for type A aortic dissection can improve recovery and reduce complications. If you qualify, you would receive this extra treatment during your surgery.
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 study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using brief periods of blood pressure cuff inflation on the arm) can help prevent early neurological worsening in people who have had a small, specific type of stroke. It may offer a safe way to protect your brain while you recover.
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 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.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff on the arm to temporarily restrict blood flow (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. It may reduce damage and improve outcomes.
