Long-term outcomes of patients undergoing simultaneous liver transplantation and sleeve gastrectomy

Hepatology May 31, 2018

Zamora-Valdes D, et al. - Researchers investigated the long-term outcomes for obese patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT), including a noninvasive weight loss program and combined LT and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). All patients referred for LT with a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2 were recruited since 2006. They performed analysis of long-term outcomes for patients ≥3 years posttransplant. It was observed in the findings that weight regain was common in the LT cohort though weight loss before transplantation was achieved by obese patients. They reported that combined LT + SG resulted in more effective and more durable weight loss, and in addition, fewer metabolic complications at last follow-up.
