Heart rehab after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a structured heart rehab program helps people recover better after surgery to fix an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main belly artery). It aims to improve fitness and heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a belly aortic aneurysm that needs surgery (like a stent or open repair).
- You are able to walk and move around on your own.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have other serious health problems that would make rehab unsafe, like severe lung disease or advanced leg artery disease.
- You are not already in another treatment study that could affect the results.

This trial tests a virtual exercise program to help prepare people for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair surgery. It aims to improve recovery by having you exercise at home before your procedure.
This trial tests whether a structured pre-surgery program (exercise and coaching) can help people prepare for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. It may help reduce problems and improve recovery by strengthening the body before surgery.
This study tests whether a supervised “prehabilitation” program before planned open surgery helps you recover better after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. It’s mainly about improving outcomes when you have time to prepare for at least 6 weeks.
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.
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 is looking at how your heartbeat and breathing affect blood flow in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It uses a special type of stent graft called Treo. The goal is to learn more so doctors can better treat AAAs.
