Introduction: At present, there are few reports regarding the issue of aortic reoperation due to its complexity and high risk and individual differences among patients.
Methods: From November 2016 to December 2017, the data from 35 cases of aortic reoperation at our institution, out of 212 consecutive aortic repairs, were reviewed. We retrospectively summarized and analyzed their surgical indications, operative data, time interval from previous aortic repair, and outcomes.
Background: There is growing evidence that bariatric surgery can lead to remission of metabolic syndrome. But the mechanism by which bariatric surgery alleviates metabolic syndrome is unclear.
Materials And Methods: Several present hypotheses which include decreased caloric intake following the surgeries, foregut and hindgut hypothesis, bile acid and bacterial flora changes, and proposed gastric center hypothesis were discussed.
