Researchers want to understand how the heart responds and changes after a patient receives endovascular repair of the aorta — a minimally invasive procedure to fix problems with the large blood vessel that leaves the heart. By comparing detailed heart imaging and blood tests before surgery and again at 6 and 12 months after, the team hopes to learn whether this type of repair affects how well the heart pumps and functions over time.
When surgeons repair a diseased aorta, it can affect the pressures and forces on the heart itself. This study exists to find out whether these changes cause lasting problems with heart function, so doctors can better predict which patients might develop complications and how to monitor them after treatment.

If you join this study, you'll have a detailed heart evaluation before your aortic repair surgery — this includes blood tests, a CT scan, an ultrasound of the heart, and a specialized heart MRI. Then, at 6 months and again at 12 months after your surgery, you'll return for the same set of tests so researchers can track how your heart is responding. In total, you'll have three study visits spread over one year.
