About this study

Official title: Effect of Delayed Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Myocardial Injury in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Valve Replacement Surgery

The purpose of this study is to evaluate delayed myocardial protective effect of RIPC in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery.

Read the detailed description

Ischemic preconditioning is one of the strategies that can reduce perioperative myocardial injury. It is a concept that briefly induced ischemia and reperfusion before the myocardial injury can reduce the myocardial injury. But it is difficult to apply ischemic preconditioning in operative field, because cross-clamping of aorta or coronary artery is difficult and invasive. Afterward concept of remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) has introduced that ischemia of remote organs like kidneys, skeletal muscles can reduce distant myocardial injury.

It is known that myocardial protective effect of ischemic preconditioning have biphasic pattern. Early protective effect wanes after a few hours, then recurs after 24-48 hours, and can persist for up to 3-4 days. It is called second window of preconditioning or delayed ischemic preconditioning. Delayed ischemic preconditioning is similar to early ischemic preconditioning in mechanism but it is different that it produces protein that can mediate myocardial protection effect.

Unlike ischemic preconditioning, it is little known about delayed effect of RIPC. RIPC can be done by applying compression cuff on upper or lower extremities and it is noninvasive and easy to deliver compared to ischemic preconditioning that is done by aorta or coronary artery clamping.

Delayed ischemic preconditioning is performed one day before the surgery, and it is safe and easy to apply RIPC in a clinical setting. And in this study investigators are going to evaluate cardioprotective effect of delayed RIPC. Myocardial injury can be predicted by elevation of cardiac enzyme. Investigators are going to perform RIPC one day before the valve replacement surgery and compare troponin I with control group to assess cardioprotective effect of delayed RIPC.

What participants receive

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

  • delayed remote ischemic preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    In the delayed RIPC group, RIPC is performed 24-48 hr before surgery by 5 minutes limb ischemia and reperfusion with pneumatic cuff up to 200 mmHg repeated by four times.

  • controlProcedure or surgery

    In the control group, all the procedures were the same with delayed RIPC group, except for the fact that the three-way stopcock between the pneumatic cuff and the cuff inflator was opened and therefore the cuff pressure did not increase.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing delayed remote ischemic preconditioning in people with Myocardial Injury, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 9 Jun 2015. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Troponin I change (time frame: before induction of anesthesia, postoperative 1, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Jun 2015.
