Exercise Therapy to Treat Adults With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00349947
Purpose
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a weakened and enlarged area in the abdominal aorta,
which is a large blood vessel in the abdomen. If an AAA ruptures, it can be life-threatening.
Research has shown that sedentary individuals are at increased risk of developing AAAs. This
study will evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise program at limiting the growth of small
AAAs in older individuals.
