[PMID: 38834419 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2024.115783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to review the long-term efficacy of a post-operative venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention program at our institution. METHODS We performed a review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) data at our hospital from January 2008-December 2022. The primary outcome was risk-adjusted VTE events. RESULTS In 2009, a postoperative general surgery patient was three times more likely to have a postoperative VTE event than predicted (O/E ratio 3.02, 95% CI 1.99-4.40). After implementing a mandatory VTE risk assessment model and a risk-commensurate prophylaxis protocol in the electronic medical record in 2011, the odds ratio of a patient developing a postoperative VTE declined to 0.70 by 2014 (95% CI 0.40-1.23). This success persisted through 2022. CONCLUSIONS Since the implementation of a standardized postoperative VTE prevention program in 2011, our institution has sustained a desirably low likelihood of VTE events in general surgery patients.

Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis after Bariatric Surgery: A Case Series and Systematic Review Comparing LSG and LRYGB. J Pers Med 2024; 14:722. [PMID: 39063976 PMCID: PMC11277930 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14070722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare but serious complication of Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS). Although more frequently reported after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), the risk factors for PMVT remain unclear. This study aims to compare the incidence and determinants of PMVT between LSG and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). (2) Methods: A retrospective analysis of 5235 MBSs conducted at our institution between 2015 and 2023 identified five cases of PMVT. Additionally, a systematic review in March 2023, covering PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus, was performed. Several data were analyzed regarding risk factors. (3) Results: In our case series, the incidence of PMVT was 0.1%. The five cases described involved four females with a BMI between 39.7 and 56.0 kg/m2. Their comorbidities were associated with metabolic syndrome, all women used oral contraceptive and two patients were diagnosed with thrombophilia or pulmonary embolism. Per protocol, thromboprophylaxis was administered to all patients. Diagnosis was made at a median of 16 days post-surgery, with abdominal pain being the main presenting symptom. Acute cases were managed with enoxaparin, unfractionated heparin and fibrinolysis. One patient required surgery. Ten studies were included in the systematic review and 205 patients with PMVT were identified: 193 (94.1%) post-LSG and 12 post-LRYGB. The most common comorbidities were dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea and liver disorders; (4) Conclusions: PMVT is a potentially life-threatening complication after MBS, requiring preventive measures, timely diagnosis and several treatments. Our findings suggest a higher occurrence in women with an elevated BMI and post-LSG. Tailored thromboprophylaxis for MBS patients at risk of PMVT may be warranted.

Abstract
Systematic review/meta-analysis of cumulative incidences of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Electronic databases were searched for original studies. Proportional meta-analysis assessed cumulative VTE incidences. (PROSPERO ID:CRD42020184529). A total of 3066 records, and 87 studies were included (N patients = 4,991,683). Pooled in-hospital VTE of mainly laparoscopic studies = 0.15% (95% CI = 0.13-0.18%); pooled cumulative incidence increased to 0.50% (95% CI = 0.33-0.70%); 0.51% (95% CI = 0.38-0.65%); 0.72% (95% CI = 0.13-1.52%); 0.78% (95% CI = 0-3.49%) at 30 days and 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Studies using predominantly open approach exhibited higher incidence than laparoscopic studies. Within the first month, 60% of VTE occurred after discharge. North American and earlier studies had higher incidence than non-North American and more recent studies. This study is the first to generate detailed estimates of the incidence and patterns of VTE after MBS over time. The incidence of VTE after MBS is low. Improved estimates and time variations of VTE require longer-term designs, non-aggregated reporting of characteristics, and must consider many factors and the use of data registries. Extended surveillance of VTE after MBS is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is rare after bariatric surgery but is the most common cause of mortality. The use of VTE risk-stratification tools and compliance with practice guidelines remain unclear. OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to determine the utilization of risk-stratified VTE prophylaxis and its impact on VTE and bleeding outcomes. SETTING Academic hospital system. METHODS Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy (2016-2021) were identified from our electronic health records. Caprini score and VTE prophylaxis regimen were retrospectively determined. VTE prophylaxis consistent with Caprini guidelines was considered appropriate. Outcomes were compared between VTE prophylaxis cohorts. Variables were compared by Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson χ2 test, and regression models. A P value of <.05 was considered significant. RESULTS A total of 1849 bariatric cases were analyzed, including 64% Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and 36% sleeve gastrectomy cases. Of these, 70% and 3.7% received appropriate risk-stratified VTE prophylaxis during hospitalization and at discharge. The mean Caprini score was higher in those without appropriate prophylaxis (8.45 versus 8.04; P = .0004). Inpatient and 30- and 90-day VTE rates were .22%, .47%, and .64%. All discharge VTE events occurred in those not receiving appropriate Caprini risk-stratified VTE prophylaxis. Inpatient and 30- and 90-day bleeding complications were .22%, .23%, and .35%. The likelihood of receiving appropriate prophylaxis varied by hospital site, and receiving appropriate prophylaxis was not associated with increased bleeding risk. CONCLUSION Caprini guideline-indicated VTE prophylaxis can be safely used in bariatric surgery patients and may reduce preventable VTE complications without increasing bleeding risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The rising prevalence of SG has led to a surge in the occurrence of PMVT, while the associated risk factors have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to determine the incidence and risk factors of PMVT in patients undergoing SG. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE databases. Proportion and regression meta-analyses were conducted. RESULTS In a total of 76 studies including 101,914 patients undergoing SG, we identified 357 patients with PMVT. Mean follow-up was 14.4 (SD: 16.3) months. The incidence of PMVT was found to be 0.50% (95%CI: 0.40-0.61%). The majority of the population presented with abdominal pain (91.8%) at an average of 22.4 days postoperatively and PMVT was mainly diagnosed with computed tomography (CT) (96.0%). Hematologic abnormalities predisposing to thrombophilia were identified in 34.9% of the population. Advanced age (p=0.02) and low center volume (p <0.0001) were significantly associated with PMVT, while gender, BMI, hematologic abnormality, prior history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, type of prophylactic anticoagulation, and duration of prophylactic anticoagulation were not associated with the incidence of PMVT in meta-regression analyses. Treatment included therapeutic anticoagulation in 93.4% and the mortality rate was 4/357 (1.1%). CONCLUSION PMVT is a rare complication of sleeve gastrectomy with an incidence rate <1% that is associated with low center volume and advanced age but is not affected by the duration or type of thromboprophylaxis administered postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of 30-day mortality after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Multiple predictive tools exist for VTE risk assessment and extended VTE chemoprophylaxis determination. OBJECTIVE To review existing risk-stratification tools and compare their predictive abilities. SETTING MBSAQIP database. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database was performed (2015-2019) for primary minimally invasive MBS cases. VTE clinical factors and risk-assessment tools were evaluated: body mass index threshold of 50 kg/m2, Caprini risk-assessment model, and 3 bariatric-specific tools: the Cleveland Clinic VTE risk tool, the Michigan Bariatric Surgery Collaborative tool, and BariClot. MBS patients were deemed high risk based on criteria from each tool and further assessed for sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value. RESULTS Overall, 709,304 patients were identified with a .37% VTE rate. Bariatric-specific tools included multiple predictors: procedure, age, race, gender, operative time, length of stay, heart failure, and dyspnea at rest; operative time was the only variable common to all. The body mass index cutoff and Caprini risk-assessment model had higher sensitivity but lower specificity when compared with the Michigan Bariatric Surgery Collaborative and BariClot tools. While the sensitivity of the tools varied widely and was overall low, the Cleveland Clinic tool had the highest sensitivity. The bariatric-specific tools would have recommended extended prophylaxis for 1.1%-15.6% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Existing MBS VTE risk-assessment tools differ widely for inclusion variables, high-risk definition, and predictive performance. Further research and registry inclusion of all significant risk factors are needed to determine the optimal risk-stratified approach for predicting VTE events and determining the need for extended prophylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare complication following bariatric surgery but can result in severe morbidity as well as death. OBJECTIVE Identification of risk factors for PVT to facilitate targeted management strategies to reduce incidence. SETTING Prospective, statewide bariatric-specific clinical registry. METHODS We identified all patients who underwent primary bariatric surgery between June 2006 and November 2021 (n = 102,869). Patient characteristics, procedure type, operative details, and 30-day postoperative complications were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression to evaluate for independent predictors of PVT. RESULTS A total of 117 patients (.11%) developed a postoperative PVT, with 6 (5.1%) associated deaths. The majority of PVTs occurred in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (109 patients; 93.2%), and the PVT occurred most commonly during the second (37%), third (31%), and fourth weeks (23%) after surgery. Independent risk factors for PVT included a prior history of venous thromboembolism (odds ratio [OR] = 3.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.64-5.98; P = .0005), liver disorder (OR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.36-4.00; P = .0021), undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (OR = 12.4; 95% CI: 4.98-30.69; P < .0001), and postoperative complications including obstruction (OR = 12.5; 95% CI: 4.65-33.77; P < .0001), leak (OR = 7.9; 95% CI: 2.76-22.64; P = .0001), and hemorrhage (OR = 7.6; 95% CI: 3.57-16.06; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Independent predictors of PVT include a prior history of venous thromboembolism, liver disease, undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, and experiencing a serious postoperative complication. Given that the incidence of PVT is most common within the first month after surgery, extending postdischarge chemoprophylaxis during this time frame is advised for patients with increased risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has a low incidence of post-operative morbidity and mortality. Understanding risk factors associated with complications that occur allows surgeons to define at-risk patients and assess the need for preventive and prophylactic measures. OBJECTIVES To determine risk factors associated with development of pulmonary embolism (PE) within 30 days of MBS and to predict the increased risk for mortality when PE occurs. SETTING USA, MBSAQIP database. METHODS Analysis of the MBSAQIP database was undertaken. This included information on 966,646 MBS cases from 2015 to 2019 in the USA. RESULTS Twenty-two risk factors for development of PE post-MBS were identified to be statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS PE is a relatively uncommon complication after MBS. When it does occur, there is a 50.9-fold increased risk for mortality. Patients with significant risk factors for PE may benefit from higher dose perioperative and/or extended VTE prophylaxis after MBS.
