This study evaluates the efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning on preventing contrast medium-induced nephropathy in a population of high risk patients undergoing coronary angiography. Half of participants will receive a preconditioning procedure while the other half will receive a sham procedure.
Contrast medium-induced nephropathy has a big impact on clinical outcomes in patients suffering from renal insufficiency who undergo percutaneous coronary interventions. Remote ischemic preconditioning is proved to protect myocardium in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary angiography. We will evaluate the effect of remote preconditioning on renal protection.

Coronary angiography is performed following usual site standards
UH Angers - Cardiology ward
Angers, France
Increase in serum creatinin level (≥25% or 0,5mg/dL)
Serum creatinin level is measured 48h after coronary angiography to assess contrast medium-induced nephropathy
Time frame: 48h after coronary angiography
Serum creatinin level is measured 12 months after coronary angiography and major adverse events are collected to assess long-term effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on renal function
Time frame: 12 months after coronary angiography
