Supplements to slow aneurysm growth and prevent rupture
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether alpha-ketoglutarate, a supplement, can slow the growth of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and reduce the risk of rupture. It may help people whose aneurysm size is in a specific range by tracking changes over time and watching for safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm below the kidneys, with size 39–49 mm
- You are 50 years or older
- You have no history of supplement allergy and can safely take the study supplement
- You have no mental illness and can follow study instructions and follow-up visits
- You have not had prior surgery in the same aneurysm area

This study follows patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms (a bulge in the main blood vessel in the belly) to see how they change over time. It may help doctors decide when treatment is needed.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can slow the growth of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging area in the main artery in your belly). If you have a small aneurysm, this medicine might help keep it from getting bigger and reduce your risk of needing surgery.
This trial tests a new stent graft device for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms. The device is placed inside the aneurysm to reinforce the artery and prevent rupture, which may help people who are candidates for this minimally invasive procedure.
This trial tests a device called TREO, which is a fabric-covered metal tube (stent) placed inside the abdominal aorta through a small cut in the leg. The goal is to treat a weakening or bulging area (aneurysm) to prevent it from bursting. It collects information on how well the device works over time.
This study is testing a new approach to manage abdominal aortic aneurysms (bulges in the main belly artery). It is for people whose aneurysm is larger than 30 mm but does not have certain rare features that require different care.
This trial tests whether doing a supervised exercise program before surgery can improve recovery and outcomes for people having elective repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel in the belly). It may help you feel stronger and recover faster.
