ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to better prepare patients for open surgery to treat problems with the aorta, such as aneurysms (bulges in the aorta) and blockages. The researchers want to create a new way to assess patients before surgery by looking at their overall health and identifying any weaknesses that could lead to complications after the operation. By gathering information that is already collected during standard care, they hope to develop a risk scale that can help doctors give better guidance and support to patients before their surgery.

To participate in this trial, patients must be scheduled for open aortic surgery in the vascular surgery department. The study is open to all adult patients, and the only reason someone might not be able to join is if they choose to refuse participation. Those who take part can expect to provide information about their health, which will help doctors understand how to improve their recovery and reduce the chance of complications after the surgery. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and the findings could lead to better outcomes for future patients undergoing similar procedures.
