401 duodenal mucosal resurfacing elicits improvement in glycemic and hepatic parameters in type 2 diabetes: complete 1 year results from the first multicenter study
Abnormalities in duodenal mucosa, nutrient absorption and enteroendocrine cell population are thought to play a pathophysiological role in the development of insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Duodenal exclusion via bariatric surgery confers an insulin sensitizing metabolic benefit that is, in part, weight-independent. Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) is an endoscopic procedure that resurfaces the duodenal mucosa through hydrothermal ablation and may confer similar metabolic benefits using a less invasive procedure.
