Bariatric arterial embolization slows gastric emptying and improves postprandial glycaemia in obese dogs with impaired glucose tolerance.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of bariatric arterial embolization (BAE) on gastric emptying of, and the glycaemic response to, an oral glucose load in an obese canine model with impaired glucose tolerance.

Methods: Eleven male dogs were fed a high-fat, high-fructose diet for 7 weeks before receiving BAE, which involved selective embolization of the left gastric artery (n = 5; 14.9 ± 0.

Interventional metabology: A review of bariatric arterial embolization and endovascular denervation for treating metabolic disorders.

The rising prevalence of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a major challenge to global health. Existing therapeutic approaches have limitations, and there is a need for new, safe, and less invasive treatments. Interventional metabolic therapy is a new addition to the treatment arsenal for metabolic disorders.
