Objective Many gastric artery embolizations (GAE) have been performed in recent years. We
try to determine whether GAE caused weight loss by decreasing gastrointestinal hormone …

Background Gastric artery embolization (GAE) has recently received attention as a minimally
invasive intervention in bariatric setting. Aims The current systematic review aimed to gather …

Purpose The main purpose of this systematic review was to reflect on recent literature on
bariatric LGA embolization for obesity treatment and to compare this new procedure in …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and 9-month effectiveness of
transcatheter left gastric artery embolization (LGAE) for treating patients with obesity …

Background Endovascular left gastric artery (LGA) embolisation has gained significant
attention in the treatment of obesity/morbid obesity and reduction of ghrelin. The objective of …

Background Embolization of the left gastric artery (LGA) reduces circulating levels of ghrelin,
but might prevent from further obesity surgery, particularly sleeve gastrectomy (SG), since …

Obesity is a significant health issue with an overall rise in mortality; it has multiple risk
factors, including hormonal effects, which play a significant role in the balance of food intake …

Purpose: To prospectively test, in a porcine model, the hypothesis that catheter-directed
gastric artery chemical embolization (GACE) can result in suppression of systemic ghrelin …

Objective: Recent evidence suggests embolization of the left gastric artery, which provides
the predominant arterial supply to the gastric fundus, may affect energy homeostasis through …

OBJECTIVE. The global population is becoming more overweight and obese, leading to
increases in associated morbidity and mortality rates. Advances in catheter-directed …
