WASHINGTON, 27 de mayo de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Una presentación especial en la Semana de la Enfermedad Digestiva 2015 contará con expertos en GERD sopesando su experiencia de éxito con el uso de la Stretta Therapy para tratar a las diversas poblaciones que sufren GERD.

Ronnie Fass, MD, de Case Western Reserve University moderó el debate y revisó los datos clínicos sobre Stretta. Los panelistas expertos abordaron tipos específicos de pacientes con GERD crónica a los que Stretta ha ayudado a tratar.

Stretta in GERD After Anti-Reflux Surgery

El doctor Portenier destacó la dificultad de tratar a pacientes bariátricos con GERD, señalando que Duke ha introducido Stretta para tratar a pacientes obesos con GERD crónica, especialmente tras la gastrectomía en manga. "Este es un área donde Stretta tiene mucho sentido. Estos pacientes normalmente no quieren que su manga se convierta en un bypass gástrico sólo para fijar su GERD", dijo Portenier. "Con Stretta evitan la cirugía adicional. En los resultados destacados que estamos viendo en Duke, la mayoría de pacientes de Stretta ven una resolución completa o parcial de los síntomas y son capaces de deshacerse de los PPI". "Stretta es un proceso endoscópico de muy bajo riesgo para estos pacientes", añadió.  

En cuanto a los pacientes con GERD refractaria, el doctor Triadafilopoulos explicó que estos pacientes experimentan reflujo a pesar de la terapia de PPI. Según el doctor Triadafilopoulos, hay un gran vacío entre los que no responden adecuadamente a los PPI y los que eligen la cirugía anti-reflujo. "Stretta cubre este vacío con una opción endoscópica ambulatoria que ha demostrado ser efectiva y segura durante 10 años". Presentó el caso de un paciente con GERD refractaria que pasó por Stretta. "El paciente experimentó ardor de estómago, dolor de pecho y regurgitación a pesar de los cambios en la dieta y terapia PPI. Las pruebas mostraron una exposición esofágica anormal a pesar de la PPI dos veces al día. Seis meses después de Stretta, el paciente está asintomático excepto para el malestar gástrico ocasional tras las comidas, está libre de PPI, utiliza antiácidos ocasionalmente y tiene un estudio de pH normal".

El doctor Mashimo revisó su experiencia con Stretta en el reflujo laringofaríngeo (LPR), una condición con síntomas como tos crónica, carraspera, asma y dolor de pecho, a menudo presentes sin ardor de estómago. También llamado reflujo atípico o silencioso, el LPR está causado por el flujo inverso de los contenidos gástricos en la faringe. "A menudo, los pacientes con LPR no responden bien a la PPI y solo la mitad mejora tras la cirugía anti-reflujo". Mashimo describió un ejemplo de paciente. "La paciente tenía sensación de globo y tos crónica, con asma no estacional que no respondía a las medicaciones. Un mes después de Stretta, experimentó una mejora marcada, y un año después la paciente tenía casi la completa resolución de los síntomas, y estaba libre de PPI".

El doctor Noar analizó la opción de Stretta para GERD tras la cirugía anti-reflujo (Nissen fundoplication), explicando que 10 años después de Nissen, los estudios muestran una GERD recurrente en hasta el 42 por ciento de los pacientes.  Revisando los pacientes que no obtuvieron resultados con Nissen del estudio de 10 años de Stretta, dijo: "Una década después, el 64 por ciento de estos pacientes todavía seguían sin terapia PPI diaria". Y añadió: "Stretta trata el esfínter esofágico bajo interno sin alterar la anatomía, importante para los que tienen cirugía anterior, y la única opción no quirúrgica para este tipo de paciente".  

"Estos temas representan necesidades no cubiertas en el tratamiento de la GERD donde Stretta podría ser una opción para tratar efectivamente a los sufridores crónicos", añadió el doctor Fass.
