Abstract:
Obesity and its associated comorbidities are rapidly increasing in the US population. Therefore, metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), previously known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has become a leading indication for liver transplantation. Lifestyle modifications as a sole therapy have been insufficient to reduce the burden of chronic liver disease secondary to MAFLD. Endoscopic bariatric interventions (EBI) appear to be safe and effective therapies for obesity and chronic liver disease secondary to MAFLD. Gastric EBI include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and intragastric balloons (IGB). Small bowel EBI are also evolving in the field of bariatric endoscopy.
