Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
A randomized, controlled trial to evaluate patient compliance and biologic mechanisms of a short-term pre-operative Protein-Calorie Restriction (PCR) diet in comparison to a normal ad libitum diet for 4 days before elective vascular surgery involving a major operation. This study is a step in the long-term primary scientific objective to test the hypothesis that brief up regulation of endogenous H2S via pre-operative PCR in elective major surgery improves clinical outcomes in humans. After a successful pilot study of the PCR diet conducted inpatient before carotid endarterectomy, the investigators now aim to expand the study to at home diet among a variety of vascular surgery procedures.
