Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protects organs from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Recent trials showed that RIPC improved gas exchange in patients undergoing lung or cardiac surgery. We performed a systematic search to identify randomized controlled trials involving RIPC in surgery under general anesthesia. The primary outcome was the PaO2/FIO2 (P/F) ratio at 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes were A-a DO2, the respiratory index, duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV), incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and serum cytokine levels. The analyses included 71 trials comprising 7854 patients. Patients with RIPC showed higher P/F ratio than controls (mean difference [MD] 36.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 12.8 to 60.4, I2 = 69%). The cause of heterogeneity was not identified by the subgroup analysis. Similarly, A-a DO2 (MD 15.2, 95% CI - 29.7 to - 0.6, I2 = 87%) and respiratory index (MD - 0.17, 95% CI - 0.34 to - 0.01, I2 = 94%) were lower in the RIPC group. Additionally, the RIPC group was weaned from MV earlier (MD - 0.9 h, 95% CI - 1.4 to - 0.4, I2 = 78%). Furthermore, the incidence of ARDS was lower in the RIPC group (relative risk 0.73, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.89, I2 = 0%). Serum TNFα was lower in the RIPC group (SMD - 0.6, 95%CI - 1.0 to - 0.3 I2 = 87%). No significant difference was observed in interleukin-6, 8 and 10. Our meta-analysis suggested that RIPC improved oxygenation after surgery under general anesthesia.Clinical trial number: This study protocol was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network (registration number: UMIN000030918), https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000035305.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:601470. [PMID: 33816572 PMCID: PMC8012491 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.601470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the influence of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery showed inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of RIPC on AKI after cardiac surgery. Methods: Relevant studies were obtained by search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane's Library databases. A random-effect model was used to pool the results. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were used to determine the source of heterogeneity. Results: Twenty-two RCTs with 5,389 patients who received cardiac surgery −2,702 patients in the RIPC group and 2,687 patients in the control group—were included. Moderate heterogeneity was detected (p for Cochrane's Q test = 0.03, I2 = 40%). Pooled results showed that RIPC significantly reduced the incidence of AKI compared with control [odds ratio (OR): 0.76, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.61–0.94, p = 0.01]. Results limited to on-pump surgery (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.64–0.95, p = 0.01) or studies with acute RIPC (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.63–0.97, p = 0.03) showed consistent results. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses indicated that study characteristics, including study design, country, age, gender, diabetic status, surgery type, use of propofol or volatile anesthetics, cross-clamp time, RIPC protocol, definition of AKI, and sample size did not significantly affect the outcome of AKI. Results of stratified analysis showed that RIPC significantly reduced the risk of mild-to-moderate AKI that did not require renal replacement therapy (RRT, OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.60–0.96, p = 0.02) but did not significantly reduce the risk of severe AKI that required RRT in patients after cardiac surgery (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.50–1.07, p = 0.11). Conclusions: Current evidence supports RIPC as an effective strategy to prevent AKI after cardiac surgery, which seems to be mainly driven by the reduced mild-to-moderate AKI events that did not require RRT. Efforts are needed to determine the influences of patient characteristics, procedure, perioperative drugs, and RIPC protocol on the outcome.

Efficacy and Safety of Nicorandil in Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy after Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Pooled Analysis of 1229 Patients. J Interv Cardiol 2020; 2020:4527816. [PMID: 32982608 PMCID: PMC7492920 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4527816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 08/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Nicorandil in reducing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an inconsistent practice. This article aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nicorandil in preventing CIN after elective PCI. Methods This is a pooled analysis of patients treated with elective PCI. The primary outcome was the incidence of CIN. The secondary outcomes were major adverse events, including mortality, heart failure, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal replacement therapy. Results A total of 1229 patients were recruited in our study. With statistical significance, nicorandil lowered the risk of CIN (odds ratio = 0.26; 95% confidence interval = 0.16–0.44; P < 0.00001; I2 = 0%) in patients who underwent elective PCI. In addition, no significant differences were observed in the incidence of mortality, heart failure, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal replacement therapy between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Our article indicated that nicorandil could prevent CIN without increasing the major adverse events. Furthermore, sufficiently powered and randomized clinical studies are still needed in order to determine the role of nicorandil in preventing CIN after elective PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most relevant arrhythmia with a prevalence of 2%. The treatment options are either highly invasive and cost-intensive or limited by potential side effects or insufficient efficacy. However, no direct means of prevention that could reduce the burden of AF have been tested. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has an impact on inducibility and sustainability of AF. METHODS A total of 146 patients with paroxysmal AF undergoing electrophysiology study were randomized to receive either RIPC, performed by short episodes of forearm ischemia, or sham intervention (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02779660). Effective refractory periods, conduction times, velocities, and conduction delays measured were analyzed by pacing from the coronary sinus (CS). End points of the study were the inducibility and sustainability of AF after prespecified rapid pacing sequences. RESULTS RIPC significantly reduces the inducibility (odds ratio 0.35; 95% confidence interval 0.17-0.71; P = .003) and sustainability (odds ratio 0.36; 95% confidence interval 0.16-0.81; P = .01) of AF. Furthermore, it decreased dispersion of atrial refractory periods (16.0 ± 14.0 ms vs 22.7 ± 19.0 ms; P = .021) as well as atrial conduction delays (49.2 ± 19.6 ms vs 56.2 ± 22.5 ms; P = .049 for proximal CS and 42.4 ± 16.6 ms vs 49.8 ± 22.2 ms; P = .029 for distal CS). In the whole cohort, longer atrial conduction delay (57.6 ± 22.2 ms vs 50.0 ± 20.5 ms; P = .044) and slower conduction velocity (1.74 ± 0.3 mm/ms vs 1.93 ± 0.5 mm/ms; P = .006) were associated with inducibility of AF whereas a wider dispersion of effective refractory periods (25.9 ± 18.3 ms vs 15.7 ± 11.6 ms; P = .028) maintained AF episodes. CONCLUSION RIPC reduces the inducibility and sustainability of AF, which is possibly mediated by changes in electrophysiological properties of the atria. It may be used as a simple noninvasive procedure to reduce AF burden.

Abstract
Background: Early revascularization can lead to better prognosis in multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, whether coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is better remains unknown. Methods: We searched PubMed and the Cochrane Library database from inception until December 9, 2017, for articles that compare outcomes of CABG and PCI in multivessel CAD patients with CKD. We pooled the odds ratios with a fixed-effects model when I2 < 50% or a random-effects model when I2 > 75% and conducted heterogeneity and quality assessments as well as publication bias analyses. Results: A total of 17 studies with 62,343 patients were included. Compared with CABG, the pooled analysis showed that PCI had a lower risk of short-term all-cause death (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.37–0.84) and cerebrovascular accidents (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.53–0.79) but a higher risk of cardiac death (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.21–1.37), myocardial infarction (MI) (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.35–2.21), and repeat revascularization (RR) (OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.99–5.09). There was no significant difference in the risk of long-term all-cause death (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.95–1.23) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 0.99–2.52) between the PCI and CABG groups. A subgroup analysis restricted to patients treated with dialysis or with PCI-drug-eluting stent yielded similar results. Conclusions: PCI for patients with CKD and multivessel disease (multivessel CAD) had advantages over CABG with regard to short-term all-cause death and cerebrovascular accidents, but disadvantages regarding the risk of myocardial death, MI, and RR; there was no significant difference in the risk of long-term all-cause death and MACCE. Large randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm our findings.
