Lipoprotein(a) Change After Sleeve Gastrectomy Is Affected by the Presence of Metabolic Syndrome

ConclusionsDespite a global improvement of conventional CVD risk factors, only individuals without MetS showed a decrease of Lp(a) levels after VSG. Further studies should explore not only the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the absence of decrease of Lp(a) levels in MetS patients, but also its impact on the metabolic beneficial changes usually observed after VSG.
