NORWALK, Connecticut, 21 de mayo de 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Un estudio revisado por pares publicado recientemente que analiza el tratamiento Stretta® confirmó la eficacia a largo plazo de este procedimiento no quirúrgico para la enfermedad del reflujo gastroesofágico (GERD, por sus siglas en inglés). El estudio, de ocho años de duración, publicado en Gastroenterology Research and Practice, con el título de "Durability of Stretta Radiofrequency Treatment for GERD: Results of 8-Year Follow-Up" (Durabilidad del tratamiento mediante radiofrecuencia Stretta en pacientes con GERD: resultados de un seguimiento de ocho años), corrobora los resultados de otro estudio de larga duración sobre Stretta publicado hace poco, con un seguimiento de diez años.

El nuevo estudio, confeccionado por los Dres. Luca Dughera, María de Cento, Paola Cassolino y Fabio Cissaro del City of Health and Sciences Hospital, Turín, Italia, y Gianluca Rotondano del Maresca Hospital, Nápoles, Italia, concluyó que Stretta es un tratamiento seguro y eficaz con resultados duraderos para pacientes a los que los tratamientos con inhibidores de la bomba de protones les ofrecen un control insuficiente de los síntomas de GERD, y para aquellos que prefieren un tratamiento menos invasivo que la cirugía.

"Entre los muchos resultados importantes de este estudio, uno de los más relevantes es la total ausencia del esófago de Barrett y de esofagitis erosiva en la población de seguimiento por el período de ocho años", expresó el Dr. Dughera. "Estas conclusiones dejan en claro que, junto con un excelente control de síntomas, Stretta reduce la dependencia del paciente de la medicación, al tiempo que también aminora los efectos nocivos de la exposición prolongada a ácidos del esófago, una de las principales causas del esófago de Barrett y de la esofagitis. De hecho, en este estudio el 76,9 % de los pacientes no había utilizado los inhibidores de la bomba de protones en el seguimiento de ocho años", explicó el Dr. Dughera. "Stretta es una valiosa opción de tratamiento no quirúrgico para GERD", agregó.

Stretta utiliza potencia baja y energía de radiofrecuencia (RF) de baja temperatura para remodelar el músculo inferior del esfínter del esófago, lo que reduce GERD y sus síntomas.

"Este estudio de seguimiento de ocho años se suma a un creciente conjunto de datos a largo plazo, que incluye estudios a diez años, ocho años y tres estudios a cuatro años, así como otros treinta estudios con seguimiento de duración variada, haciendo de Stretta el tratamiento no quirúrgico más estudiado para GERD", expresó Will Rutan, director ejecutivo de Mederi Therapeutics, fabricante de Stretta. "Los resultados de todos estos estudios a largo plazo demuestran sostenidamente seguridad, eficacia y durabilidad excepcionales en el tratamiento", continuó Rutan. En febrero de 2013, Stretta obtuvo la recomendación GRADE más sólida de la Sociedad de Cirujanos Gastrointestinales y Endoscopistas Estadounidenses (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, SAGES) en su Guía clínica sobre tratamientos endoluminales de GERD.

Stretta aparecerá en demostraciones en vivo en el próximo Endolive Roma en Roma, Italia, el 22 y 23 de mayo, www.endoliveroma.it, y en el GEEW de Bruselas, Bélgica, del 23 al 25 de junio, www.live-endoscopy.com.
