Does uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) improve vasoreactivity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)?
Objective: The effect of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) on the endothelial function have not been evaluated in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in the literature. We investigated the vasoreactivity in patients with OSAS before and after UPPP via intravenous injection of the vitamin C comparing with healty control group.
