New haemostatic techniques: argon plasma coagulation
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 1999Bleeding is one of the main challenges for endoscopists. Despite a large number of methods for haemostasis, several types of haemorrhage lack an adequate therapeutic remedy. Argon plasma-coagulation (APC), a new method for the non-contact application of high-frequency current, promises to solve many of these problems.

Treatment of Radiation Proctitis with Argon Plasma Coagulation
Endoscopy, 2000Radiation proctitis is a troublesome complication of pelvic irradiation for malignancy. One common and occasionally serious complication is rectal bleeding. Therapeutic options for this condition are limited. This study was undertaken to evaluate the usefulness of argon plasma coagulation (APC) in the treatment of rectal bleeding due to radiation ...

Argon plasma coagulation in endoscopy
1997Argon plasma coagulation (APC) represents a new method of contact-free electrocoagulation in which energy is transmitted to the tissue through ionized argon gas. Its application has been used with success in open surgery. After design and development of special endoscopic probes, APC was introduced in flexible endoscopy in 1991 in Tuebingen, Germany ...

Endobronchial Electrosurgery: Argon Plasma Coagulation and Electrocautery
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004Endobronchial electrosurgery is used to remove endobronchial lesions in the trachea and bronchi, using either a rigid or a flexible bronchoscope. The thermal property of electric current is used to destroy tissue or coagulate bleeding sites. Electrosurgery, electrocautery, electrotherapy, and surgical diathermy are terms often used when referring to ...

Watermelon colon treated by argon plasma coagulation
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2005report of a gastric ulcer as a direct result of an LVAD or any other implantable device. We speculate that the gastric ulcer and subsequent perforation in our patient was caused by local ischemia that resulted from pressure exerted by the device on the gastric wall. Each mechanical pulsation of the device may further increase the pressure damage.

Argon plasma coagulation in chronic radiation proctitis
Endoscopy, 2007Chronic radiation proctitis is a relatively common late complication of pelvic irradiation. The main symptoms are diarrhea, urgency, tenesmus, and rectal bleeding. While mild cases may settle spontaneously over some months, severe hemorrhagic radiation proctitis may require repeated blood transfusions and is difficult to treat with medical therapy ...

Argon Plasma Coagulation in Gastroenterology
2018Interventional procedures are a milestone in the evolution of digestive tract endoscopy. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a well-established technique included in the endoscopic armamentarium. This device is intended for thermal coagulation of tissues and originally APC developed as an alternative to laser in open and laparoscopic surgery.

Digestive Endoscopy, 2007
Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has been introduced to the field of therapeutic endoscopy and is now widely used. A new ablation technique is herein proposed for the treatment of superficial esophageal carcinomas. According to this technique, after the initial ablation, we exfoliate the epithelium and then perform a second ablation (APCâsubepithelial ...

Argon plasma coagulation for Barrett's esophagus
Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2010Barrett's esophagus is a metaplastic complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease that predisposes to the development of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Treatment of the condition centers on acid suppression and prevention of progression to high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma.
