Improvement in Pulmonary Hypertension Following Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: a Brief Review and Meta-analysis.
Obesity Surgery 2024 May
We reviewed the available evidence on the outcome of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Five studies examining 174 patients were included; the mean age was 54.5 ± 9.27 years; the mean BMI before surgery and at the end of follow-up were 47.2 ± 5.95 kg/m2 and 37.4 ± 2.51 kg/m2 , respectively. Furthermore, the results showed a significant decrease in the right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) after MBS with a mean difference of 10.11% (CI 95%: 3.52, 16.70, I2 = 85.37%, p = < 0.001), at 16.5 ± 3.8 month follow-up with a morbidity rate of 26% and 0 mortality. Thirty-day postoperative complications included respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, and anastomotic leak. There appears to be a significant improvement in PH with a decrease in medication requirements after MBS.
