Is carotid intima-media thickness reduced 12 months after gastric bypass surgery in obese patients with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance?
Mean carotid IMT was significantly reduced 12months after RYGB in patients with T2D/IGT which provides evidence to support that the earliest atherosclerotic changes in the arterial wall are reversible. Although numerically different from the changes observed in patients with NGT, the between-group difference was not statistically significant.
These data reached similar conclusions as was found comparing these three agents in fresh embryo transfer.
