Background and Purpose—Remote ischemic preconditioning is a phenomenon by which a
short period of sublethal ischemia to an organ protects against subsequent ischemia in …

Rationale Remote ischemic per-conditioning—causing transient limb ischemia to induce
ischemic tolerance in other organs—reduces final infarct size in animal stroke models. Aim …

Remote ischemic preconditioning is an emerging concept for stroke treatment, but its
protection against focal stroke has not been established. We tested whether remote …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Of all
strokes, 87% are ischemic. The only approved treatments for acute ischemic stroke are …

Background and Purpose—Remote ischemic conditioning is cardioprotective in myocardial
infarction and neuroprotective in mechanical occlusion models of stroke. However, there is …

Attenuation of ischemic injury can be achieved by priming the brain with a sub-lethal
ischemic insult, a phenomenon known as ischemic preconditioning (IP). We sought to …

Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIP) refers to an ischemia conducted in a distant organ
that protects against a prior ischemia in another organ. We tested whether RIP protects …

Background Intravenous administration of alteplase is the only approved treatment for acute
ischemic stroke. Despite the effectiveness of this treatment, 50% of patients suffer chronic …

Objectives: To determine the protective effects of remote post-conditioning on ischemic brain
lesions caused by middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in rats. Methods: A total of 54 …

Purpose: Limb remote ischemic per-conditioning or post-conditioning has been shown to be
neuroprotective after cerebral ischemic stroke. However, the effect of combining remote per …
