Remote, non-invasive ischaemic preconditioning of skeletal muscle flaps against ischaemic necrosis : efficacy and mechanism

The efficacy and mechanism of a novel, non-invasive, remote ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) technique for the protection of skeletal muscle against necrosis resulting from prolonged ischaemia, were studied in a porcine model. It was observed that three brief cycle of non-invasive hindlimb ischaemia,...
