“…There have been three patients described in the literature who successfully had bariatric surgeries (two sleeve gastrectomy, and one gastric plication) after BAE. 59 Although insufficient alone, these observations support continued clinical inquiry.…”

Obesity is a well-known major public health concern that causes significant morbidity and mortality with severe effects on the healthcare system and its financial status. Classic treatment options for obesity include lifestyle interventions, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. However, there is a treatment gap for patients in whom lifestyle modifications were not sufficient or satisfactory, and yet bariatric surgery is not a suitable option. Bariatric artery embolization (BAE) is a novel, minimally invasive, image-guided endovascular procedure that induces weight loss by reducing the production of appetite-mediating hormones following transarterial embolization of the gastric fundus. Recent evidence has shown that BAE is safe and effective in inducing clinically significant weight. This article will review the existing preclinical and clinical evidence on BAE, and discuss the future directions for this procedure.

“…Further studies need to clarify this aspect, but recent studies show promising results in this regard. One study reported an uneventful SG surgery three years post BAE [ 42 ]. In Reddy et al, two patients underwent a bariatric surgical intervention (SG and laparoscopic gastric plication) post BAE to further leverage weight loss and experienced no perioperative or postoperative complications [ 25 ].…”

Overweight and obesity are one of public health’s major problems in the world. Conservative treatment with exercise, diet and pharmacotherapy is often ineffective, especially in the long term. Bariatric surgery is the gold standard method for a sustained long-term weight loss. Recently the endovascular technique of bariatric artery embolization (BAE) has been studied as an obesity and overweight treatment, with promising results. The goal of this article is to analyze the rationale behind BAE and to provide an up-to-date analysis of its strengths and limitation in comparison with bariatric surgery as a treatment for obesity.
