Quality of life after open repair for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational study enrolling adults undergoing open surgical repair for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms at two Swiss centers. Health-related quality of life will be measured with the SF-36 at baseline, discharge, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. The study will analyze changes over time and differences by subgroups such as age, comorbidities, and aneurysm type. Results are intended to fill a gap in patient-reported outcomes for open repair and support shared decision-making in vascular care.
