Exercise and coaching before open abdominal aneurysm surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 50 years old and planning an elective (planned) open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
- Your aneurysm size should be 6.9 cm or smaller (not larger than that)
- You must be able to understand the study and give informed consent
- Your aneurysm should not be ruptured or causing severe symptoms right now
- You must be able to exercise safely (no major physical limits that stop exercise)
- Your blood pressure and heart rhythm/heart stability must be controlled enough for exercise

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.
This study tests whether a supervised “prehabilitation” program before planned open surgery helps you recover better after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. It’s mainly about improving outcomes when you have time to prepare for at least 6 weeks.
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 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.
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 tests if a drug called a PCSK9 inhibitor can help people undergoing open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It aims to see if the drug affects the aneurysm in a way that might improve outcomes.
