Blood vessel damage in repaired aortic narrowing with exercise-related high blood pressure
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if people with repaired coarctation of the aorta who develop high blood pressure only during exercise have any damage to their blood vessels or organs. It aims to understand how exercise affects long-term health after aortic repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had surgery to repair a narrowing in your main artery (coarctation of the aorta).
- You do not have high blood pressure when resting.
- You are not taking any blood pressure medicines.
- You are able to do an exercise stress test (like walking on a treadmill).
- You do not have serious heart valve problems, advanced heart failure, or certain irregular heartbeats.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a type of blood pressure medicine (an angiotensin-II receptor blocker) to see if it can help prevent changes in the heart's structure. It is for people who have had surgery for a coarctation of the aorta and now have mild to moderate high blood pressure.
This study looks at how exercise affects people with aortic aneurysms and how the aorta's structure relates to its function. You may join if you have an aortic aneurysm and are being monitored or scheduled for surgery, or if you are a healthy person for comparison.
This trial looks at how the shape of the aorta affects healing and remodeling after a stent is placed to treat a narrow spot (coarctation). It may help doctors better predict outcomes and choose the best treatment for you.
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 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.
