Safety and efficacy of exercise training in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Low exercise capacity preoperatively leads to increased postoperative complications, perioperative mortality, length of stay, and inpatient costs among patients going through elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery. Therefore, exercise training may be extremely important for reducing perioperative adverse events in AAA patients. This paper aimed to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the safety of exercise training and its effects on exercise capacity in AAA patients.
