- Un nuevo estudio publicado sobre el seguimiento de 8 años confirma la seguridad, eficacia y duración de Stretta en el tratamiento de GERD

NORWALK, Connecticut, 21 de mayo de 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Un nuevo estudio publicado y revisado que examina la terapia Stretta® ha confirmado la eficacia a largo plazo de este tratamiento no quirúrgico de la enfermedad de reflujo gastroesofágica (GERD). El estudio de 8 años, publicado en Gastroenterology Research and Practice y titulado "Durability of Stretta Radiofrequency Treatment for GERD: Results of 8-Year Follow-Up" corrobora los descubrimientos de otro estudio a largo plazo recientemente publicado sobre Stretta con un seguimiento de 10 años.

El nuevo estudio, cuyos autores son los doctores Luca Dughera, Maria De Cento, Paola Cassolino y Fabio Cissaro, del City of Health and Sciences Hospital de Turín, Italia, y Gianluca Rotondano, del Maresca Hospital de Nápoles, Italia, llega a la conclusión de que Stretta es un tratamiento seguro y eficaz con resultados duraderos en pacientes para los que la terapia PPI proporciona un control no satisfactorio de los síntomas GERD, y para los que prefieren una opción de tratamiento menos invasiva frente a la cirugía.

"De los numerosos descubrimientos importantes del estudio, uno de los más destacados es la ausencia completa de ningún esófago de Barrett o esofaguitis erosiva en el seguimiento de la población a los 8 años", declaró el doctor Dughera. "Estos descubrimientos dejan claro que además de un excelente control de los síntomas, Stretta reduce la dependencia de los pacientes acerca de la medicación al tiempo que reduce los efectos perjudiciales de la exposición prolongada a los ácidos del esófago, una de las causas principales de Barrett y de la esofaguitis. De hecho, en este estudio el 76,9% de los pacientes estaban libres aún de los PPIs a los 8 años de seguimiento", explicó el doctor Dughera. "Stretta es una valiosa opción de tratamiento no quirúrgico en el tratamiento de GERD", añadió.

Stretta usa la energía de radiofrecuencia (RF) de baja potencia y baja temperatura para remodelar el músculo inferior del esfínter del esófago, reduciendo así GERD y sus síntomas.

"Este estudio de seguimiento de 8 años se añade al cuerpo cada vez mayor de datos a largo plazo, que ahora incluye estudios a 10 años, 8 años y tres estudios de 4 años, además de otros 30 estudios de seguimiento con una longitud variada, haciendo que Stretta sea, de lejos, el tratamiento no quirúrgico más estudiado para GERD", explicó Will Rutan, consejero delegado de Mederi Therapeutics, fabricante de Stretta. "Los resultados en todos estos ensayos a largo plazo muestran de forma consistente la seguridad excepcional, eficacia y duración del tratamiento", añadió Rutan. En febrero de 2013, Stretta consiguió la mejor recomendación GRADE de la Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) en sus tratamientos de la Clinical Guideline on Endoluminal GERD.

Stretta se mostrará en casos en directo en la próxima edición de Endolive Roma en Roma, Italia, el 22 y 23 de mayo, www.endoliveroma.it, y en el GEEW de Bruselas, Bélgica, los días 23 y 25 de junio, www.live-endoscopy.com.
