Experimental: RIC+ ICIC +
Patients with remote ischemic conditioning and intracoronary ischemic conditioning
|
Device: Remote ischemic conditioning and intracoronary ischemic conditioning
RIC: Four cycles of [5 min brachial cuff inflation at 200 mmHg followed by 5 min of cuff deflation] started as soon as possible prior to PCI reperfusion. At least one full cycle (inflation + deflation) has to be completed before PCI reperfusion. ICIC: Four cycles of [1 min balloon inflation followed by 1 min balloon deflation] started as soon as possible after reopening of the culprit coronary artery (maximum within 3 minutes after reflow). The balloon will be placed carefully above the culprit lesion so as to minimize potential micro-embolization. |
RCI - ICIC -
Control group with no remote ischemic conditioning and no intracoronary ischemic conditioning

Device: Patients with no remote ischemic conditioning and no intracoronary ischemic conditioning
Brachial cuff is positioned during 40 minutes but not inflated. No intracoronary balloon inflation. |
