Changes in predicted cardiovascular disease risk after biliopancreatic diversion surgery in severely obese patients.
To determine the impact of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) surgery on cardiovascular risk profile and predicted cardiovascular risk in severely obese patients. ⋯ These results highlight the cardiovascular benefits of BPD-DS and suggest a positive impact on predicted CHD risk in severely obese patients. Long-term studies are needed to confirm our results and to ascertain the effects on CHD risk estimates after BPD-DS surgery.
