Summary

Making a limb transiently ischemic induces ischemic tolerance in distant organs such as the heart. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and initial efficacy of using briefly repetitive bilateral limb ischemic preconditioning (BLIPC) to protect the brain in octogenarians with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.

Conditions

  • Bilateral Limb Ischemic Preconditioning
  • Intracranial Arterial Stenosis

Interventions

DEVICE

bilateral limb ischemic preconditioning (Doctormate, IPC-906X)

Device: bilateral limb ischemic preconditioning (Doctormate, IPC-906X, produced by Beijing Renqiao Institute of Neuroscience)five cycles of 5 minutes bilateral upper limb ischemia-reperfusion performed by inflating tourniquets to 200 mmHg, twice daily for 180 consecutive days, along with conventional medical treatment.
