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.
