Quality of life after AAA surgery: EVAR vs open repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to fix a large abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and looks at how your quality of life changes after surgery. One method uses a small tube (stent) inserted through a blood vessel, and the other is traditional open surgery. It may help you understand the best option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is bigger than 50 millimeters (about 2 inches).
- Your surgery is planned in advance (not an emergency procedure).
- You are willing to have either type of surgery (EVAR or open repair).

This study looks at how people’s quality of life changes after a planned minimally invasive procedure to repair the aorta using EVAR, FEVAR, or BEVAR. It may help doctors better understand what recovery and day-to-day wellbeing are like for patients after this kind of treatment.
This trial studies an endovascular (through blood vessels) repair technique for an unruptured enlarged artery in the belly called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It may help doctors compare outcomes using a randomized approach and structured follow-up.
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 collects information about people who needed surgery because of complications after EVAR (a minimally invasive procedure to treat a weakened or blocked artery in the aorta). It will help doctors understand what kinds of open or laparoscopic operations are done and what outcomes to expect.
This study compares two ways to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the lower part of the aorta). It looks at whether the newer approach works as well as standard EVAR in people whose aneurysm has a wider neck that may be harder to treat.
This trial compares early surgical repair (using a stent) against regular monitoring for women who have a small abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
