Application of remote ischemic conditioning in patients with acute ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Recanalization therapy is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke. However, sometimes blood flow reperfusion not only fails to restore brain function, but also leads to further necrosis and apoptosis of neurons, thereby aggravating brain tissue damage and brain dysfunction of the patients, that is, reperfusion injury. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a simple, safe, convenient and easy method to protect brain tissue, improve cerebral blood flow and alleviate ischemia-reperfusion injury by giving multiple transient ischemic treatments to remote organs (usually limbs). This article reviews the application of RIC in the field of acute ischemic stroke in recent years.
