Exercise after surgery for aortic dissection: a safety study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for people who have had surgery for a type of aortic tear (type B aortic dissection). It aims to see if exercise can improve recovery without causing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a specific type of aortic dissection (type B) or a related condition, and you had surgery (stent or bypass) more than one month ago
- A follow-up CT scan after surgery showed no major problems (like leaks, blockages, or worsening of the tear)
- You can take care of your own daily activities (like walking, bathing, eating)
- You are willing to follow the study plan and come for follow-up visits
- You are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, or are using effective birth control

This trial tests two different stent procedures to repair a torn aorta in people with severe narrowing that limits blood flow to organs. It compares the usual stent method with a new one to see which gives better results.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
This study looks at how patients do after surgery for an urgent (acute) tear of the aorta or related bleeding in the wall of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors better understand what outcomes to expect after early emergency surgery.
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.
This trial looks at whether a supervised exercise program can improve fitness and quality of life in adults who were born with a narrowed aorta (coarctation) and had surgery to fix it as a baby or child. It aims to see if exercise is safe and helpful for heart health and daily energy, without placing extra strain on the repaired area.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for people with a thoracic (chest) aortic aneurysm. You may be able to join if your aneurysm size fits their range and you can safely attend training visits.
