アルゴンプラズマ凝固法(argon plasma coagulation: APC)は外科手術時の臓器切断面止血法のひとつ として用いられてきたが,内視鏡用のアプリケータが 開発されてからは,消化器内視鏡分野で新たな止血 ・凝固法として注目を集めている. APCはアルゴン ガスを噴射し,その流れに高周波電流を重ねた非接 触型高周波凝固法で,アルゴンガスはプローブ先端 でイオン化されアルゴンプラズマ流となって組織に 到達し,表面を凝固する.その適応は止血処置の他, 腫瘍焼灼や食道静脈瘤の地固め療法にも使用され ている.特徴としては,操作が簡便で短時間に広範 囲を浅い深度で凝固できることがあげられる.今回, 重篤な基礎疾患を合併しているため内視鏡的粘膜切除 (Endoscopic mucosal resection: EMR),外科手術が 施行困難な食道表在癌に対しAPC治療を施行した ...

introduction: acquired tracheal stenosis can be created by various malignant or benign causes. the most common cause of acquired non-malignant tracheal stenosis is endotracheal intubation, even for a short period. argon plasma coagulation is a non-contact method of thermal hemostasis. argon plasma coagulation can be used easily and fast and has low depth of penetration. methods: this study is ...
متن کاملArgon plasma coagulation
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. Some characteristics of the argon discharge are shown and discussed, and thermal effe...
متن کاملArgon Plasma Coagulation for the Treatment of Hemorrhagic Radiation Colitis
Radiation colitis is a common consequence of pelvic radiation. Its complications may include anemia due to chronic bleeding requiring transfusions. Many of these patients are managed with rectal medications which are often inadequate for control. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has been well described for its efficacy in treating radiation proctitis. Here we present two cases in whom APC therapy...
متن کاملEndoscopic Treatment of Gastric Adenoma with Argon Plasma Coagulation
The term gastric adenoma means a benign lesion of the glandular epithelium having variable degrees of cellular atypia and showing papillary or tubular structures. Because long-term follow-up studies of gastric adenomas reveal malignant transformations, it is well known they are premalignant. Since these lesions lie histologically and clinically on the borderline of between whether they are beni...
