Summary

An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition where the major artery in the abdomen becomes larger than usual. Over time, as it continues to grow, the wall of the artery weakens and there is a risk that the artery can burst causing internal bleeding and death. Aortic aneurysms are fixed when they reach a certain size to prevent that outcome. The surgery to fix them is a major, high-risk surgery that is associated with a lot of complications and a slow recovery back to normal. The time between diagnosis and surgery is called the pre-operative period and is a key time to optimize a patient's health in order to ensure the best possible outcomes following surgery. This study will look at whether a multidisciplinary pre-operative program that involves exercise training, nutritional advice and supplementation, and psychosocial support will reduce complications following surgery. This program should decrease complications and speed up a patient's recovery back to normal after surgery. It is also a way for patients to take ownership of their disease and play an active role in their health care journey. The benefits from this program will go beyond the pre-operative time frame, as the habits and knowledge gained will improve their health over their lifetime. This study will also assess the economic impact and cost of a program like this.
