Article Synopsis
- Remote ischemic preconditioning (rPerC) was tested as an addition to intravenous alteplase treatment in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke to evaluate its neuroprotective effects.
- The study involved randomizing 443 patients, with 247 receiving rPerC and 196 following standard treatment, primarily focusing on the preservation of brain tissue after one month.
- While the main results showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes or infarct size across groups, a deeper tissue analysis indicated that rPerC might reduce the risk of infarction, suggesting it could have potential benefits worth exploring in future trials.
