Brief Summary:
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a growing public health problem that affects more than 5% of the population and can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. These patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular and hepatic death, and higher rates of neoplasms, both gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal. The standard treatment is weight loss with diet and physical exercise, which has shown a histological and analytical improvement in patients who achieve a 5-10% reduction in body weight. However, less than 25% of subjects achieve this goal. Restrictive surgical treatments and gastric bypass have achieved, in obese patients, an improvement in metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and liver histology, but in patients with liver cirrhosis the morbidity-mortality of this surgery is high. Currently, endoscopic techniques are being developed, which are less invasive and have fewer complications, and which also achieve gastric restriction with similar characteristics to those obtained by the surgical method. Among them is the tubulization or vertical gastroplasty with the OverStitch system (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, TX, USA). However, this method has not been evaluated in patients with obesity and/or metabolic syndrome and NASH cirrhosis. For this reason, the main objective of the investigators study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic gastroplasty in improving metabolic factors and liver histology in patients with obesity with or without metabolic syndrome and NASH-compensated cirrhosis.
