Most patients can continue diabetes, weight loss GLP-1 drugs before surgery, those at highest risk for GI problems should follow liquid diet before procedure
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)

Most patients should continue taking their glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists before elective surgery, suggests new clinical guidance released by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, International Society of Perioperative Care of Patients with Obesity, and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. Patients at the highest risk for significant gastrointestinal (GI) side effects should follow a liquid diet for 24 hours before the procedure or other measures, depending on the specific circumstances.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure and Moderate Aortic Stenosis Shows Limited Benefits
Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF)

Findings from the TAVR UNLOAD study found limited benefits of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the treatment of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and moderate aortic stenosis (AS). Findings were reported today at TCT 2024, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). TCT is the world’s premier educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine. The results were also published simultaneously in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
