NCT ID NCT05703893
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study examines how the nervous system works in 139 adults with thoracic aortic aneurysms (a bulge in the chest's main artery). Participants lie down and then stand while their blood pressure and breathing are monitored non-invasively. The goal is to see if nerve function patterns can help predict who is at higher risk for serious complications.

If successful, this study could help doctors better identify which patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms are at higher risk for complications.
