Short‐term remote ischemic conditioning may protect monkeys after ischemic stroke

Objective We aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of short‐term remote ischemic postconditioning ( RIPC ) in acute stroke monkey models. Methods Acute stroke monkeys were allocated to four groups based on the number of limbs exposed to RIPC . RIPC was initiated by 5‐min cuff inflation/deflation cycles of the target limb(s) for 5–10 bouts. Vital signs, skin integrity, brain MRI , and serum levels of cardiac enzymes (myoglobin, creatine...
