title: Remote ischemic preconditioning will reduce graft-related events after surgical infrainguinal revascularization: evidence-based surgery hypothesis.
abstract: Surgical lower extremity revascularization obligates ischemia-reperfusion, and local ischemia-reperfusion provokes systemic inflammation; perhaps counterintuitively, remote ischemic preconditioning elicits a constructive anti-inflammatory response. So, remote ischemic preconditioning will decrease graft-related complications after surgical infrainguinal revascularization.
