EVAR study: heart and artery changes after aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older and have been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
- You can attend scheduled follow-up visits before and after the procedure.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study looks at how your heartbeat and breathing affect the shape of an abdominal aortic aneurysm before and after treatment with a special stent. It may help doctors plan better treatments for people with this condition.
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 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 study collects information about people who needed surgery because of complications after EVAR (a minimally invasive procedure to treat a weakened or blocked artery in the aorta). It will help doctors understand what kinds of open or laparoscopic operations are done and what outcomes to expect.
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 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.
