Cardiovascular Safety of Laparoscopic Roux En Y Gastric Bypass Vs. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: An Analysis of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) Data Registry

Patients affected by morbid obesity present several cardiovascular risk factors that can lead to complications after Bariatric Surgery (BaS). Previous research suggests that laparoscopic Roux En Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) may have an advantage over laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) regarding remission of cardiometabolic conditions in patients with severe obesity. We aimed to examine the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after LRYGB compared to LSG.
