Article Abstract

Glucose-like peptide-1-receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become integral to the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. GLP-1RAs work in part through delaying gastric emptying, raising concerns about retained gastric contents (RGC) during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The American Society of Anesthesiologists currently recommends holding GLP-1RAs for 1 dosing cycle before elective procedures, however, the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) advocates proceeding with endoscopy in asymptomatic patients adhering to standard perioperative protocols without medication withholding and suggests implementing a liquid diet the day before endoscopy in lieu of stopping the medication. This variability in recommendations stems largely from a lack of GLP-1RA outcomes data from which to draw evidence-based conclusions.

Background: Lower extremity arterial disease is a prevalent vascular condition leading to ischemic symptoms and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Drug-eluting stents have improved outcomes by reducing restenosis, with sirolimus emerging as a promising alternative to paclitaxel due to its safer profile. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of novel polymer-free Amphilimus formulation (Sirolimus + fatty acid) eluting self-expanding stent in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease in a real-world population.
