Comparative effectiveness of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease 5 years after surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Comparative evidence is needed when deciding which bariatric operation to undergo for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction.

Objectives

The Effectiveness of Gastric Bypass vs. Gastric Sleeve for Cardiovascular Disease (ENGAGE CVD) study compared the effectiveness of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) operations for reduction of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association-predicted 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk 5 years after surgery.

Setting

Data for this study came from a large integrated healthcare system in the Southern California region of the United States. This is one of the most ethnically diverse (64% non-White) bariatric populations in the literature.
