RESUMO
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing in prevalence and associated with numerous metabolic complications leading to increased mortality and costs. Metabolic surgery, or surgery to treat T2DM and obesity, is effective at achieving remission from T2DM. This review discusses the most commonly used surgical options including the adjustable gastric band, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the sleeve gastrectomy, and the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and their ability to treat and prevent T2DM. RECENT FINDINGS: There is an increasing body of literature that justifies the inclusion of metabolic surgery into the treatment algorithm for patients with obesity and T2DM. Metabolic procedures should be performed at centers that offer comprehensive treatment of metabolic disorders and have expertise in gastrointestinal surgery. The incremental improvement in the quality and safety of metabolic surgery has significantly reduced the risk of serious post-operative complications. Metabolic surgery is a safe and effective treatment option for obese patients with T2DM.

Little is known about the frequency and clinical implications of postoperative atrial fibrillation in military veterans who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We examined long-term survival data, clinical outcomes, and associated risk factors in this population. We retrospectively reviewed baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative data from 1,248 consecutive patients with similar baseline risk profiles who underwent primary isolated CABG at a Veterans Affairs hospital from October 2006 through March 2013. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate long-term survival (the primary outcome measure), morbidity, and length of hospital stay. Postoperative atrial fibrillation occurred in 215 patients (17.2%). Independent predictors of this sequela were age ≥65 years (odds ratios [95% confidence intervals], 1.7 [1.3-2.4] for patients of age 65-75 yr and 2.6 [1.4-4.8] for patients >75 yr) and body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 (2.0 [1.2-3.2]). Length of stay was longer for patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation than for those without (12.7 ± 6.6 vs 10.3 ± 8.9 d; P ≤0.0001), and the respective 30-day mortality rate was higher (1.9% vs 0.4%; P=0.014). Seven-year survival rates did not differ significantly. Older and obese patients are particularly at risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation after CABG. Patients who develop the sequela have longer hospital stays than, but similar long-term survival rates to, patients who do not.
