Bariatric Surgery Lowers the Risk of Major Cardiovascular Events
Conclusions: Bariatric surgery is associated with decreased risk of significant cardiovascular events compared to nonsurgical controls. In this exploratory analysis, gastric bypass was associated with a lower risk of all cardiovascular events than sleeve gastrectomy.

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

Association of Bariatric Surgery With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Adults With Severe Obesity and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results of this study suggest that, compared with nonsurgical care, bariatric surgery was associated with significant reduction in CVD risk in individuals with severe obesity and NAFLD.PMID:36205997 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.35003

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

Routine preoperative resting echocardiography does not predict adverse cardiopulmonary events after bariatric surgery
CONCLUSION: A routine resting preoperative echocardiography added little to the cardiopulmonary risk stratification of patients who underwent bariatric surgery. High-risk patients were identifiable based on their medical history, particularly those with a known history of coronary artery disease and coronary revascularization.PMID:33637417 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2021.01.021

High cardiovascular risk patients benefit more from bariatric surgery than low cardiovascular risk patients
ConclusionStudy results suggest ASCVD and FRS are equally reduced after bariatric surgery, especially after LSG and LRYGB. Moreover, preoperative FRS and ASCVD risk score showed an inversely proportional relationship with %EBMIL loss at 12 months.

Bariatric Surgery in the United Kingdom: A Cohort Study of Weight Loss and Clinical Outcomes in Routine Clinical Care
Conclusions Bariatric surgery as delivered in the UK healthcare system is associated with dramatic weight loss, sustained at least 4 y after surgery. This weight loss is accompanied by substantial improvements in pre-existing T2DM and hypertension, as well as a reduced risk of incident T2DM, hypertension, angina, MI, and obstructive sleep apnoea. Widening the availability of bariatric surgery could lead to substantial health benefits for many people who are morbidly obese.

Diabetes: Study finds bariatric surgery beats diet, exercise
A study designed to compare bariatric surgery with lifestyle interventions found that Type II diabetics treated with gastric bypass or banding procedures fared better than patients who watched their diets and exercised. Results from “Bariatric Surgery versus Intensive Medical Therapy for Diabetes – 3-Year Outcomes,” which was funded by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiaries Ethicon and LifeScan, the Cleveland Clinic and the National Institutes of Health, were published online yesterday in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. The 3-year, 61-patient study randomized obese subjects 1 of 3 arms: Ro...
