Sleep apnea may shield organs during aneurysm repair, study hints

NCT ID NCT04630535

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might help protect the body from damage during surgery to fix a large blood vessel (aortic aneurysm). The idea is that the short, repeated drops in oxygen from sleep apnea might train the body to handle the stress of surgery better. Researchers will compare recovery and blood tests in 100 patients with and without sleep apnea who are having this type of surgery.
