Check heart risk tests before planned AAA repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a hand/eye pressure test (tonometry) and an ultrasound scan (duplex ultrasound) to see if they can predict future heart or blood vessel events in people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who are planning elective surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest follow-up and treatments for you after repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and can sign consent and return for follow-up visits
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the lower or near-upper part of the aorta
- Your AAA surgery is planned (either open repair, EVAR, FEVAR, or CHEVAR) through standard care
- You have a life expectancy of at least 2 years
- You are not in another study that could affect the results

This study looks at blood and/or scan markers to better understand abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It may help doctors predict risks and guide follow-up or treatment choices.
This trial is looking at how your heartbeat and breathing affect blood flow in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It uses a special type of stent graft called Treo. The goal is to learn more so doctors can better treat AAAs.
This study looks at how the heart and large arteries change after endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in your belly). It may help doctors understand if the repair improves heart function and vessel stiffness over time.
This trial tests whether a structured pre-surgery program (exercise and coaching) can help people prepare for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. It may help reduce problems and improve recovery by strengthening the body before surgery.
This study tests if a structured heart rehab program helps people recover better after surgery to fix an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main belly artery). It aims to improve fitness and heart health.
This trial tests a virtual exercise program to help prepare people for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair surgery. It aims to improve recovery by having you exercise at home before your procedure.
