The main objective of this study was to test the neuroprotective effects of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC: 4 cycles of 5-min hind limb ischemia interleaved with 5-min reperfusion) in a rat model of transient ischemic stroke (90 minutes) in a two-center study using translational MR imaging endpoints. Neuroscores and edema-corrected infarct size measured at 24h on T2-weighted MRI and expressed as percentage of the area at risk on per-occlusion MRI were significantly reduced in the RIC-treated group compared to the control group. The use of longitudinal MRI increases results robustness, which is greatly needed for successful RIC clinical translation.
