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 and weight gain. Ghrelin is an anabolic hormone secreted from stomach fundus and plays a significant role in this regulation. Management of obesity involves multiple interventions, including lifestyle adjustment, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. Bariatric embolization is a relatively new procedure; several animal studies show that embolization of the left gastric artery reduces serum ghrelin and induces weight loss. Also, several clinical studies were conducted in the past ten years which have shown bariatric embolization's effectiveness in inducing weight loss: a meta-analysis of 47 patients included in six different clinical studies of left gastric artery embolization resulted in 8% total weight loss from baseline body weight. Many studies also show this procedure's effect on lowering the HgA1C level and lipid profile. Clinical studies mostly reported minor adverse effects such as transient abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting, gastric ulcers, and major adverse effects were uncommon, suggesting the procedure is well tolerated. It may be an alternative line of management in patients who are not suitable candidates for bariatric surgery. Although future clinical studies will provide an answer to several questions like the exact effects of the procedure on diabetes and metabolic syndrome, future studies are also needed to establish particular guidelines to match different patient characteristics with their optimal procedural techniques and pre-and post-procedure evaluation tests.
