Background: One common approach to treat the symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD) is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Unfortunately, the myocardium is vulnerable to ischemia reperfusion damage whenever a previously blocked coronary artery is reopened. Aim of the work: Our aim is to compare the efficacy of single and multiple remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in preventing post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) chest discomfort, ST-segment deviation, and myocardial infar
