The Effect Of Remote Limb Ischemic Preconditioning For Carotid Artery Stenting
Stroke, TIA, Coronary Stenosis
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Stroke focused on measuring MMSE, NSE, S100B, hsCRP, DWI-MRI
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Patients referred for elective Carotid Artery Stenting were participate in the study at the time of scheduling for operation.
- Symptomatic patient, as evidenced by transient ischemic attack (TIA), amaurosis fugax, minor or non-disabling stroke(in the hemisphere supplied by the target vessel), within 180 days of the randomization date.
Discrete lesion located in the internal carotid artery(ICA), and the degree of carotid stenosis ≥50% defined as:
Stenosis ≥70% by ultrasound. Stenosis ≥50% by angiography (based on NASCET Criteria)
- Appropriate for carotid stenting. Candidates for Carotid Artery Stenting meet all other inclusion requirements.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Evolving stroke
- Untoward reaction to anesthesia
- Intolerance or allergic reaction to associated medications, including aspirin(ASA) and clopidogrel.
- Prior major ipsilateral stroke that may confound study endpoints.
- Severe dementia.
- Hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic stroke within the past 60 days.
- Chronic atrial fibrillation.
- MI within previous 30 days.
- High risk surgical candidate defined as the CREST test.
- Bilateral upper limb arteries are severe stenotic or occlusion.

Device: RIPC RIPC consisted of five 5-min cycles of right upper arm ischemia/reperfusion, which was induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the right upper arm which was inflated to 200 mmHg for 5mins followed by deflating the cuff for 5mins Procedure: Carotid Artery Stenting
Procedure: Carotid Artery Stenting
