Carotid Intima–media Thickness is Lower after Sleeve Gastrectomy, with Concurrent Changes in Oxidized LDL and PAI-1
Weight loss following SG was associated with improvement in inflammatory, oxidative, and fibrinolytic biomarkers. Ox-LDL was more strongly linked to CIMT than PAI-1, which showed limited predictive value. Further studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between CIMT and other fibrinolysis biomarkers such as thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and D-dimer in the context of MBS.
