Sleeve gastrectomy and hypertension: a systematic review of long-term outcomes
2018
Introduction
Bariatric surgery has been shown to be a safe and durable intervention for patients struggling with obesity and metabolic syndrome, including hypertension. Buchwald et al. reported hypertension resolution rates in 67.1% and improvement in 78.5% following aggregate bariatric surgery. The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is becoming increasingly utilized as a primary bariatric surgery, but lacks long-term outcome data. There are a growing number of studies reporting outcome data beyond 5 years.
