Remote ischemic preconditioning for type A aortic dissection surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a technique called remote ischemic preconditioning, which involves temporarily reducing blood flow to a limb to protect the heart and brain during emergency surgery for a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection). The goal is to see if this can improve recovery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with an acute type A aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery from the heart) and need emergency surgery within 14 days of symptoms starting.
- You or a legal representative can understand the study and agree to take part, and you are willing to attend follow-up visits.
- You do not have a history of open heart or chest aortic surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have severe organ failure (like liver or kidney disease), certain blood disorders, or other serious medical conditions that would make the trial unsafe.

This trial tests new strategies for patients with a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection) that has caused blockages in blood vessels, leading to organ damage. It aims to find the best approach to restore blood flow and improve outcomes.
This study tests a special approach during surgery for a type of aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery) to lower the chance of new stroke or brain damage. It aims to improve recovery after emergency heart surgery.
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 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 personalized exercise program for people who had a serious tear in the aorta (aortic dissection) and were treated with a stent or graft. The goal is to help you recover safely and improve your strength and well-being.
