Prehabilitation exercise before abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that is scheduled for elective repair (not emergency).
- Your aneurysm size is less than 7 cm at its widest point.
- You are able to exercise and have no physical or heart conditions that make exercise unsafe.
- You do not have severe cognitive problems and can communicate in English, French, Spanish, or Catalan.

This trial tests a virtual exercise and support program (prehabilitation) for people preparing for surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to help you get stronger before surgery, which may lead to a better recovery.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise and heart rehabilitation program helps people recover better after surgery to fix an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging, weak spot in the main artery in the belly). It aims to improve heart health and overall recovery.
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 trial tests a faster recovery plan (fast-track) for people having a common type of surgery to fix a bulging blood vessel in the belly (abdominal aortic aneurysm). The surgery is done through a small cut in the groin, and you go home sooner than usual — likely within a few days.
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 study looks at how your heartbeat and breathing affect the shape of an abdominal aortic aneurysm before and after treatment with a special stent. It may help doctors plan better treatments for people with this condition.
