About this study

Hypothesis : RIPC using tourniquet might be a simple technique with the benefit to provide renal protection without disturbing operating procedure and prolongation of total operating time.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients undergoing complex valve surgery.

Exclusion criteria

  • older than 80 years
  • those with left main disease >50%, or hepatic or pulmonary disease
  • active infective endocarditis
  • left ventricular ejection fraction <30%
  • myocardial infarction (MI) within 3 weeks
  • pre-existing renal dysfunction (serum creatinine (Cr) level >1.4 mg/dl), and those with peripheral vascular disease affecting the lower limbs.

Treatment and study plan

Automated cuff-inflator

Procedure

RIPC protocol consisted of three 10-min cycles of lower limb ischemia at an inflation pressure of 250 mmHg induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the upper leg with an intervening 10 min of reperfusion during which the cuff was deflated.
