Effect of bariatric endoscopy on liver fibrosis and steatosis and the course of NAFLD – a prospective interventional study
Introduction and Objectives: With increases in obesity and metabolic syndrome because of lifestyle-related factors, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) also is increasing worldwide. In a subset of patients with NAFLD, an inflammatory process arises in the steatotic liver, kno...

| description | Introduction and Objectives: With increases in obesity and metabolic syndrome because of lifestyle-related factors, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) also is increasing worldwide. In a subset of patients with NAFLD, an inflammatory process arises in the steatotic liver, known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, that leads to liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. In selected patients with obesity, bariatric surgery, and bariatric endoscopy are important therapeutic options. Materials and Methods: This prospective interventional pilot study was conducted to investigate two types of intragastric balloons (IGB). The IGBs were the Orbera and the Spatz3. Liver fibrosis changes were monitored non-invasively using point and 2D shear wave ultrasound elastography (SWE) and transient elastography that allowed for quantification of liver steatosis using the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). Patients were followed for 12 months. Results: Of 34 patients implanted with an IGB, 30 completed follow-up at month 12; results for one patient were excluded because of initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy. Fifteen patients received the Orbera IGB, and nineteen patients received the Spatz3 type. In month 12, total and excess weight loss was 7.88 % and 30.13 %. Elastography values decreased from baseline (3.88 kPa) to 3.61 kPa at month 12 (p 0.024). 2D SWE values decreased from baseline (5.42 kPa) to a value of 4.91 kPa at month twelve (p 0.135). Transient elastography values decreased from baseline (5.62 kPa) to a value of 4.17 kPa at month twelve (p 0.009). Conclusions: Bariatric endoscopy in the form of IGB implantation leads to weight reduction and improvement of liver fibrosis and steatosis. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT04895943 |
