1 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes March 28-30, 2011 Hilton New York New York, NY USA Congress Director Francesco Rubino, MD Congress Program Hosted By

3 Welcome to the 2nd World Congress on Interventional therapies for Type 2 diabetes Dear Colleagues and Friends, Several gastrointestinal (GI) operations originally designed to treat morbid obesity also cause dramatic improvement or even remission of type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms by which surgery controls hyperglycemia remain elusive. Increasing evidence suggests that weight-independent mechanisms may play a role in the surgical control of diabetes. This knowledge challenges current paradigms of disease pathogenesis and points to the gastrointestinal tract as a potential target for the development of less invasive interventional therapies and novel pharmaceuticals. Previously, the Diabetes Surgery Summit (Rome 2007) and the 1st World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes (New York 2008), have raised attention about the role of gastrointestinal surgery for the treatment of diabetes: opportunities and limitations of this emerging field are now the matter of a growing debate. The debate continues with the 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes. A multidisciplinary group of clinicians, scientists and policy makers will address barriers that still prevent access to surgical treatment of diabetes in eligible patients and develop an agenda of research priorities to improve patients selection and elucidate mechanisms of diabetes control. A stellar Faculty of leading international scientists will also discuss how the lessons learned from study of gastrointestinal interventions may improve understanding of diabetes and provide a lead for future treatments of curative intent. On behalf of the organizing committee and myself, I welcome you to this exciting, multidisciplinary event. Francesco Rubino, MD Congress Director 1

43 Diabetes: A Global Epidemic Diabetes currently affects 285 million people worldwide and is expected to affect 438 million by In 2010, the five countries with the largest numbers of people with diabetes were India (50.8 million), China (43.2 million), the United States (26.8 million), Russia (9.6 million), and Brazil (7.6 million). In 2010, the five countries with the highest diabetes prevalence in the adult population were Nauru (30.9%), United Arab Emirates (18.7%), Saudi Arabia (16.8%), Mauritius (16.2%), and Bahrain (15.4%). By 2030, the largest increases in diabetes prevalence will take place in developing countries. Each year a further 7.7 million people develop diabetes. Each year 4 million deaths are attributable to diabetes. An even greater number die from cardiovascular disease made worse by diabetes-related lipid disorders and hypertension. Every 10 seconds a person dies from diabetes-related causes. Every 10 seconds two people develop diabetes. Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of global death by disease. Type 2 diabetes has become the most frequent condition in people with kidney failure in countries of the Western world. The reported incidence varies between 30% and 40% in countries such as Germany and the USA. 10% to 20% of people with diabetes die of renal failure. It is estimated that more than 2.5 million people worldwide are affected by diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in adults of working age (20 to 65 years) in industrialized countries. On average, people with type 2 diabetes will die 5-10 years before people without diabetes, mostly due to cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in diabetes, accounting for some 50% of all diabetes fatalities, and much disability. People with type 2 diabetes are over twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke as people who do not have diabetes. Indeed, people with type 2 diabetes are as likely to suffer a heart attack as people without diabetes who have already had a heart attack. At least 50% of all people with diabetes are unaware of their condition. In some countries this figure may reach 80%. At least 60% of new cases of type 2 diabetes is preventable by adopting a healthy diet and increasing physical activity. Diabetes is the largest cause of kidney failure in developed countries and is responsible for huge dialysis costs.

45 Conventional Bariatric/Metabolic Procedures Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) After its first report by Edward Mason in 1967, the technique of gastric bypass has undergone several modifications. The current technique involves the use of a surgical stapler to create a small and vertically oriented gastric pouch usually less than 30 cc in size. The upper pouch, which is completely divided from the gastric remnant is anastomosed to the jejunum (between 30 and 75 cm from the ligament of Treitz). Bowel continuity is restored by an entero-entero anastomosis between the excluded biliary limb and the alimentary limb usually 75-to 100 cm distal to the gastro-jejunostomy. After RYGB, ingested food bypasses approximately 95% of the stomach, the entire duodenum and a portion of the jejunum, but bile and nutrients mix in the distal jejunum and can be absorbed through the remaining portion of the small bowel (jejunum-ileum). 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes March 28-30, 2011 New York, NY, USA 43

46 Conventional Bariatric/Metabolic Procedures Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) The LAGB is a restrictive procedure that involves encircling the upper part of the stomach with a band-like, saline-filled tube just distal to the gastroesophageal junction. The amount of restriction may be adjusted by injecting or withdrawing saline solution from the hollow core of the band through a subcutaneous port. Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) Sleeve gastrectomy is a component of BPD-DS; an operation that can be performed in two stages (sleeve gastrectomy first, followed by the intestinal rearrangement months later) to reduce operative time and minimize surgical risk in super-obese patients (BMI>60). The dramatic weight loss consequent to the first stage of the BPD-DS has encouraged the use of SG as a stand-alone procedure. In addition to reducing the capacity of the stomach, SG eliminates the ghrelin-rich gastric fundus and can cause changes in intra-gastric pressure and gastric motility, all of which might play a role in the mechanism of action of the operation. Sleeve gastrectomy has been also shown to substantially improve diabetes in severely obese patients as well as in experimental rodent models of diabetes. The long-term (>5 years) clinical efficacy of the procedure is still under investigation. 44 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes March 28-30, 2011 New York, NY, USA

47 Conventional Bariatric/Metabolic Procedures Figure 1A Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) and BPD-DS The operation involves a gastric resection (usually leaving behind a ml sized stomach) + a long intestinal bypass. The gastric resection can be horizontal as in the Scopinaro procedure (Fig 1A) or vertical - sleeve gastrectomy in its variant named BPD-Duodenal Switch - Fig 1B). The remnant stomach is anastomosed to the distal 250 cm of small intestine (called alimentary limb). The excluded small intestine (including the duodenum, the jejunum and part of the proximal ileum) carries the bile and pancreatic secretions (biliary limb) and is connected to the alimentary channel just cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. The short segment of small bowel where bile and nutrients mix is called common limb and is the only site where fat and starches are absorbed, whereas the alimentary limb (usually cm in length) allows only partial absorption of nutrients.

48 Investigational Gastrointestinal Procedures Figure 2A Duodenal-Jejunal Bypass (DJB) Originally described by Rubino as an experimental procedure to investigate mechanisms of action of gastric bypass surgery, the operation consists of a stomachpreserving bypass of a short segment of proximal small intestine, equivalent to the amount of intestine bypassed in a standard gastric bypass (RYGB). A variant of this procedure includes the association of proximal intestinal bypass with sleeve resection of the stomach (DJB-SG- Fig 2B) to reduce potential for marginal ulcerations and potentially increase clinical efficacy. These procedures have been used to treat diabetes in low BMI patients (R. Cohen and others). Long-term efficacy data are not yet available and these procedures should be considered investigational in humans. Figure 2B 46 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes March 28-30, 2011 New York, NY, USA

49 Investigational Gastrointestinal Procedures Ileal Interposition (IT) The concept of ileal-interposition was first described by Koopmans and Sclafani in rodents experiments as a weight loss procedure. A small segment of ileum with its vascular and nervous supplies intact, is surgically interposed into the proximal small intestine, accelerating its exposure to ingested nutrients. IT can be performed alone or in association with sleeve gastrectomy and duodenal exclusion. The procedure requires a minimum of 3 anastomosis (vs the 2 of gastric bypass operations) and is technically complex, especially when associated with sleeve gastrectomy or duodenal exclusion. Early human studies suggest that these procedures can improve diabetes in non-obese subjects; however, long-term metabolic sequalae are unknown, and long-term safety is still to be evaluated. The procedure should be considered experimental in humans. 2nd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes March 28-30, 2011 New York, NY, USA 47
