Gastric pneumatosis after endoscopic argon plasma coagulation.
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) is gaining widespread usage but its risk is underreported. CLINICAL PICTURE A 74-year-old man who received radical radiotherapy for gastric carcinoma 6 months ago was admitted for anaemia and maelena. Gastroscopy revealed haemorrhagic radiation gastritis. Endoscopic APC was performed but terminated when he complained of severe epigastric ...
متن کاملEndoscopic plasma argon coagulation in treatment of weight regain after bariatric surgery: what does the patient think about this?
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is an effective treatment for refractory morbid obesity, causing the loss of 75% of initial excess weight. After the surgery, however, weight regain can occur in 10-20% of cases. To help, endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) is used to reduce the anastomotic diameter. Many patients who undergo this treatment, are not always ...
متن کاملCharacterization of weight loss and weight regain mechanisms after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in rats.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective therapy for morbid obesity, but it has a approximately 20% failure rate. To test our hypothesis that outcome depends on differential modifications of several energy-related systems, we used our established RYGB model in Sprague-Dawley diet-induced obese (DIO) rats to determine mechanisms contributing to successful (RGYB-S) or failed (RYGB-F)...
متن کاملLaparoscopic placement of non-adjustable silicone ring for weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is presently one of the most popular surgical procedures for obesity. One of the possible long-term problems is weight regain, usually after a period of successful weight loss. Weight regain after RYGBP can be due to new eating habits, like sweet-eating or grazing, or volume eating because of impaired restriction. This paper reports our experience in ...
متن کاملHyperplastic gastric polyps after argon plasma coagulation treatment of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE).
contact technique of electrocoagulation in which energy is transmitted via ion− ized argon gas flow. The tip of the cathe− ter should be kept between 1 mm and 3 mm away from the mucosa. APC has be− come increasingly popular for treating gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE). Its main advantage is that coagulation is more superficial, thus reducing the risk of complications [1]. We present two ...
