MRI study of the heart’s aorta before planned surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how the ascending aorta (a large blood vessel) moves and behaves before planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand the mechanics of an aortic aneurysm and improve future surgical planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an ascending aortic aneurysm and your doctors recommend surgery.
- Your surgery is already scheduled for this planned timeframe.
- You can give consent to join the study.
- You have no MRI safety problem (you can safely have an MRI scan).

This trial uses a special MRI and blood tests to see how heart muscle is affected after aortic or mitral valve surgery. It may help doctors better understand and monitor heart recovery.
This study looks at how exercise affects people with aortic aneurysms and how the aorta's structure relates to its function. You may join if you have an aortic aneurysm and are being monitored or scheduled for surgery, or if you are a healthy person for comparison.
This study uses MRI (a type of scan) in people who are scheduled for a catheter-based aortic valve replacement through the groin. It aims to see how well MRI can work for these patients and potentially improve care planning around the procedure.
This study looks at whether a CT scan of the chest before aortic valve replacement surgery (with or without bypass) can help doctors plan the procedure better. It is for people with severe aortic valve stenosis who are already scheduled for surgery.
This study uses special imaging to better measure how the aorta wall behaves in people with an enlarged aorta (an aneurysm) and in some people without an aneurysm. Results may help doctors understand aneurysm risk and plan care more precisely.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how different parts of the aorta look and behave, including in healthy volunteers and people with aortic problems. It may help researchers better describe differences in the aorta that could improve future diagnosis or treatment planning.
