Protective Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Myocardial Damage After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Stable Angina Patients With Complex Coronary Lesions - Subanalysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial -

摘要

Background: The effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on periprocedural myocardial damage (pMD) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of RIPC or intravenous nicorandil on pMD following elective PCI in a subgroup of patients with complex coronary lesions from a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
