Exercise for people who had aortic repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to repair a narrowing of the main artery from the heart (aortic coarctation).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have severe narrowing or an aneurysm (bulge) in the repaired area of the aorta.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or heart surgery in the past 2 months.
- You do not have an irregular heartbeat or chest pain at rest, and you do not have severe heart failure.

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.
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 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.
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.
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 study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart function and fitness in people who have a surgical tube (conduit) connecting their right ventricle to their pulmonary artery. It aims to find a safe and effective exercise program for those with this type of congenital heart condition.
