Trial summary

RIP-VALVE is a randomized, single blinded study that will test the hypothesis that remote ischemic preconditioning initiated before surgery reduces post-operative myocardial damage in aortic valve surgery. Infarct size will be determined by 72 hours area under curve of troponin-I. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Aortic Valve Surgery (RIP-Valve)

RIP-VALVE is a randomized, single blinded study that will test the hypothesis that remote ischemic preconditioning initiated before surgery reduces post-operative myocardial damage in aortic valve surgery. Infarct size will be determined by 72 hours area under curve of troponin-I.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis tested in this research proposal is that remote ischemic preconditioning initiated immediately before aortic valve surgery reduces myocardial damage related to surgery.

Being tested
Control, Remote ischemic preconditioning
Medical subject headings
Aortic Valve Stenosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ControlProcedure or surgery

    Deflated blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm for 30min

  • Remote ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5 min and then deflated for 5 min. This cycle is initiated before aortic clamping and repeated 3 times in total

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote ischemic preconditioning in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Infarct size (time frame: 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01390129, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Oct 2012.
