Massive Hemorrhage With Argon Plasma Coagulation
Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2010We report the first case of massive hemorrhage after argon plasma coagulation of an endobronchial tumor that obstructed the right main bronchus. This is the first report of bleeding complication with argon plasma coagulation while attempting to remove the tumor. The patient was successfully resuscitated and discharged without sequelae.

Cap-assisted argon plasma coagulation
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2015Cap-assisted argon plasma coagulation is carried out with a clear cap over the tip of the endoscope. The catheter is then positioned within the cap in such a manner that the tip of the catheter is kept at a reproducible distance from the mucosa (Fig. 1). This obviates the possibility of direct mucosal contact and the resulting direct thermal injury. It

Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is an electrosurgical procedure in which electrical energy in the form of ionized argon gas is transferred to target tissue. The APC device uses non-contact thermal energy in the form of ionized gas or plasma for coagulation of the tissue. This technique was first used in open surgical and laparoscopic procedures nearly 2

Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) is an application of gas discharges in argon in electrosurgery, which is increasingly used especially in endoscopy. The major application fields are haemostasis, tissue devitalization and tissue reduction. This review describes the physics and technology of electrosurgery and APC.

Argon Plasma Coagulation for Treatment of Watermelon Stomach
Endoscopy, 2002Watermelon stomach or gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but well-recognized cause of gastrointestinal blood loss, which typically affects elderly women. Historically patients were treated with antrectomy but this has been largely replaced by endoscopic therapy such as Nd:YAG laser.

Argon Plasma Coagulation for Inferior Turbinate Reduction
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2000Surgical reduction of the inferior turbinate remains a widely used therapy for nasal obstruction caused by hyperplastic turbinates. Current methods are costly and time-consuming, require nasal packing, and cause extended postoperative swelling. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a new, innovative technique in otorhinolaryngological surgery that is based

Application of Argon Plasma Coagulation in Skin Surgery
Dermatology, 1998<b>Background:</b> Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a noncontact electrosurgical technique which has been used in open surgery for about 20 years and in endoscopy for about 5 years. <b>Objective:</b> The aim of the present study was to provide preliminary results on the effect of this method in skin surgery.

Argon Plasma Coagulation for the Treatment of Colonic Varices
Endoscopy, 2002Various individually tailored endoscopic treatment modalities have been described for bleeding colorectal varices. We describe a case of a 65-year-old man, in whom argon plasma coagulation successfully eradicated ectopic varices at the ileocolonic anastomosis; bleeding could be stopped.
