Rate of Cardiovascular Events and Safety Outcomes Seven Years Following Gastric Bypass Versus Sleeve Gastrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study aimed to assess major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), complications requiring revision surgery, and bariatric conversion surgery 7 years after gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) using real-world data.

Background

GB and SG both result in weight loss and improved cardiometabolic health. Whether the long-term rate of MACE differs between the 2 bariatric procedures is unclear.

Methods

In this population-based retrospective cohort study, we used inhospital National Health Registry data from January 2012 to December 2018. Patients undergoing GB were 1:1 propensity score-matched with patients who had SG. The primary outcome was the incidence of MACE, defined as acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, cardiac arrest, or hospitaliz
