Published: Dec 24, 2019
Abstract
Although bariatric surgery has proven beneficial for those with cardiovascular disease (CVD), the overall and procedure-specific risk associated with bariatric surgery in this patient population remains unknown. Patients who underwent primary laparoscopic, laparoscopic-assisted, or robotic-assisted Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) at a MBSAQIP-accredited center were included (n = 494,611). Exposures include history of...
