Preventing Myocardial Ischemia by Preconditioning in Elective Operation for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

January 12, 2015 updated by: Nikolaj Eldrup, Aarhus University Hospital

The Effect of Preconditioning to Prevent Perioperative Myocardial Ischemia in Elective Operation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Primary To investigate whether peripheral predonditioning induced by brief, intermittent constriction of blood supply to an arm can reduce the incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia in patients operated electively for infrarenal aortic aneurysm.

Secondary To investigate the impact of peripheral preconditioning on perioperative inflammatory response.

To investigate whether peripheral preconditoning can protect against perioperative myocardial infarction and reduced cardiac pump function.
