Remote Ischemic Perconditioning in Thrombolysed Stroke Patients: Randomized Study of Activating Endogenous Neuroprotection – Design and MRI Measurements

Abstract

This phase 3 trial is the first study in patients with acute ischemic stroke to evaluate the effect size of remote ischemic perconditioning as a pretreatment to intravenous alteplase, measured as penumbral salvage on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging and clinical outcome after three-months follow-up.
