Participant Flow

Symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects with carotid artery stenosis which was more than 70% by angiography , duplex ultrasound, Computed Tomography Angiography or Magnetic Resonance Angiography (NASCET criteria), who could undergo carotid artery stenting and all follow-ups, were recruited starting from August 2012.

Measure
RIPC Group
Treatment:Patients in this group received standard medical therapy and remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) treatment for at least 2 weeks before carotid artery stenting. Remote ischemic preconditioning: Remote ischemic preconditioning consisted of five 5-min cycles of bilateral arm ischemia/reperfusion, which is induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on bilateral arm and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5-min followed by deflating the cuff for 5-min. Carotid Artery Stenting: Carotid Artery Stenting is an invasive therapy of carotid artery stenosis.
Control Group
Treatment:Patients in this group received standard medical therapy alone for at least 2 weeks before carotid artery stenting. Carotid Artery Stenting: Carotid Artery Stenting is an invasive therapy of carotid artery stenosis.
Sham RIPC Group
Treatment:Patients in this group received standard medical therapy and sham RIPC treatment for at least 2 weeks before carotid artery stenting. Sham remote ischemic preconditioning: Sham remote ischemic preconditioning consisted of five 5-min cycles of bilateral arm ischemia/reperfusion, which is induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on bilateral arm and inflated to 60 mmHg for 5-min followed by deflating the cuff for 5-min. Carotid Artery Stenting: Carotid Artery Stenting is an invasive therapy of carotid artery stenosis.
