Short-term cardiovascular events after bariatric surgery in patients with metabolic syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with MetS have an increased frequency of cardiac events following bariatric surgery. Future studies should determine if optimization of 1 or more components of MetS or other related co-morbidities reduces the cardiovascular risk for patients.PMID:37659898 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.07.009

Effect of high-risk factors on postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events trends following bariatric surgery in the United States from 2012 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: MACE following LSG and LRYGB is rare, occurring in 0.1% of patients. Persistently increasing high-risk conditions and demographics has had minimal effect on MACE over time for LSG and LRYGB but has had significant effect on MACE trend over time in SG and RYGB.PMID:36209030 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2022.08.014

TransCarotid Revascularization With Dynamic Flow Reversal Versus Carotid Endarterectomy in the Vascular Quality Initiative Surveillance Project
Objective: To compare the outcomes of TCAR with flow reversal to the gold standard CEA using data from the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative TCAR Surveillance Project. Summary of Background Data: TCAR is a novel minimally invasive procedure for carotid revascularization in high-risk patients that is associated with significantly lower stroke rates compared with carotid artery stenting via the transfemoral approach. Methods: Patients in the United States and Canada who underwent TCAR and CEA for carotid artery stenosis (2016-2019) were included. Propensity scores were calculated base...

Trends in early postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events associated with bariatric surgery: an analysis of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program data registry
CONCLUSION: The overall risk of MACCE after BaS is .14% and has been declining in the last 5 years. This trend is likely multifactorial and further analysis is necessary to provide a detailed explanation.PMID:34600841 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2021.08.023

Predictors of change in cardiovascular disease risk and events following gastric bypass: a 7-year prospective multicenter study
CONCLUSION: This study identified multiple presurgery factors that characterize patients who may have more cardiovascular benefit from RYGB, and patients who might require additional support to improve their cardiovascular health.PMID:33582036 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2020.12.013

Protamine Reduces Serious Bleeding Complications Associated with Carotid Endarterectomy in Asymptomatic Patients without Increasing the Risk of Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Death in a Large National Analysis.
CONCLUSION: Protamine reduces serious bleeding complications at the time of CEA without increasing the risk of MI, stroke, or death, in this large North American analysis. Based on this and previous regional work regarding protamine use in CEA, it is believed that there is now sufficient evidence to support its routine use, and it should be considered as a benchmark for quality during CEA.

Bariatric surgery reduces incidence of atrial fibrillation: a propensity score –matched analysis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects 33.5 million individuals worldwide [1] and it is estimated that the prevalence of AF in the United States will increase 2- to 3-fold over the next 50 years [2]. Patients with AF are more likely to experience a variety of negative health outcomes, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke [3,4]. In addition to these major health risks, there is a significant economic burden associated with AF, amounting to as much as $26 billion in annual healthcare expenditures in the United States alone [5].
