Exercise rehab program for aortic dissection patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with aortic dissection using imaging tests like CTA or MRI.
- You had a minimally invasive procedure to repair the tear with a stent or graft (TEVAR, fenestrated graft, or branched stent).
- You are awake and can make your own decisions about joining the study.
- You do not have serious heart conditions like unstable angina, recent heart attack, or severe heart rhythm problems.
- You do not have a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator.
- You do not have an active infection, cancer, or bleeding/clotting problems.

This trial studies which treatment is best for people with a recent, “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). It may help doctors choose safer care for patients whose dissection has not yet caused major complications.
This trial is studying treatments for people with a sudden tear in the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection) or a similar condition. It aims to improve outcomes after this emergency.
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.
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 tests whether a stent procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and healing in people with a serious aortic tear (type B dissection). It may be an option if you have complications or high-risk features from the dissection.
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.
