Carotis intima-media thickness

Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of this study was to compare carotid intima-media thicknesses in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients preoperatively and at the end of the first postoperative year.

Full description

Obesity is not only a disease in itself, but also predisposes to many other diseases. Cardiac diseases are one of the systems that obesity predisposes to. Obesity has been found to increase the risk of cardiac disease by increasing carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity. Surgery is known to be the most effective treatment for obesity and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most common bariatric surgery procedure. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may reduce the risk of cardiac disease by reducing carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity through effective weight loss.
