Pirlet C, Biertho L, Poirier P, et al. - Researchers examined patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing bariatric surgery to determine the short- and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in these individuals. They used a dedicated database to select patients with a history of CAD. They matched 249 patients with chronic CAD with 249 patients without CAD following propensity score matching. Participants were followed-up for 7.4 years (interquartile range: 4.1-11.5; maximum 22 years). Significantly higher mortality (mainly cardiac mortality) was observed in the CAD group compared with the non–CAD group throughout follow-up. Findings revealed a higher risk of early and late major adverse cardiocerebral events in patients with severe obesity and CAD referred to bariatric surgery vs non-CAD severely obese patients.
