Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the process of repeated ischemia and reperfusion in the peripheral vessels, which is proved in reducing IRI in vital organs. This IMPROVE trial plans to enroll 648 patients who are diagnosed with coronary artery disease and are going to take off-pump CABG in five centers in China, to access whether RIC can and improve short-term prognosis.
