Faster recovery after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster recovery plan (fast-track) for people having a common type of surgery to fix a bulging blood vessel in the belly (abdominal aortic aneurysm). The surgery is done through a small cut in the groin, and you go home sooner than usual — likely within a few days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bulge in the main blood vessel in your belly (abdominal aortic aneurysm) that needs elective repair.
- You must live in or near Bologna, or be able to stay there for at least 7 days after the procedure.
- You must have someone to stay with you at home for the first few days after discharge.
- You must be able to have the surgery with local anesthesia (awake but numb), not general anesthesia.
- Your groin blood vessels must be wide enough and not too hardened for the small incisions used.
- The shape of your aneurysm must be suitable for this type of repair (your doctor will check with imaging).

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 trial tests a new device (Nectero EAST) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms without major surgery. It may be an option for people with a medium-size aneurysm who have not had prior repair.
This study compares two approaches for women with small abdominal aortic aneurysms: repairing it early with a minimally invasive procedure (EVAR) versus monitoring it with regular scans. The goal is to find out which approach leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
This trial tests a new technology that may help doctors place a guide wire more easily during a standard procedure to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging, weakened area in the main artery in the belly). It aims to see if this technology makes the procedure safer or more effective for patients.
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.
