Preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing and risk of early mortality following abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides an objective assessment of functional capacity. The aim of this study was to assess whether preoperative CPET identifies patients at risk of early death following elective open and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.
