Does bariatric surgery change the risk of acute ischemic stroke in patients with a history of transient ischemic attack? A nationwide analysis
CONCLUSIONS: After analyzing nationwide information, we conclude bariatric surgery helps decrease risk of AIS in patients with a history of TIA. However, this comparison is limited by the nature of the database; further studies are needed to better understand these results.PMID:36581552 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2022.11.013

Regarding an Apparently High Stroke Rate in Patients With Medically Managed Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis at an Academic Center in the Southeastern United States
We respectfully disagree with Weiner et al and advise that it is premature to give up on current best non-invasive medical intervention (lifestyle coaching and medication) alone for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS).(1) Weiner et al reported an average annual ipsilateral 'stroke' rate of 2.9% (10 ipsilateral strokes, in 173 patients with>70% stenosis over 2 years). This is just a little more than for non-surgically managed patients in the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study (2.3%/year in patients with 60-99% ACS) and significantly more than in the most recently published quality studies of non-invasi...

High stroke rate in patients with medically managed asymptomatic carotid stenosis at an academic center in the Southeastern United States
Since the publication of randomized clinical trials defining the benefit of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for asymptomatic carotid stenosis, medical management of carotid stenosis has changed significantly. With antiplatelet agents and statins, some question whether these trials are still relevant, suggesting that asymptomatic patients with>70% internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis may do better with medial management alone, lessening the need for CEA and carotid stenting. The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registry has shown that there are wide practice variations regarding the degree of stenosis that prompts surgical ...

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
