Virtual exercise program before aortic aneurysm surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are waiting for surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in your belly), and the bulge is smaller than 7 cm.
- You are able to do light exercise (like walking or gentle stretching) with help, and you have a support person to be with you during sessions.
- You do not have serious heart problems or other health conditions that make exercise unsafe.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study procedures.

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.
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 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 tests whether a home-based prehab program (exercises and education via video visits) can help heart surgery patients get stronger before surgery and reduce complications. If you qualify, you'll have regular video check-ins during your waiting period.
This trial tests a personalized exercise program for people who had a serious tear in the aorta (aortic dissection) and were treated with a stent or graft. The goal is to help you recover safely and improve your strength and well-being.
