Clinical outcome of endoscopic hemostasis with heater probe coagulation for bleeding gastric ulcer
We reviewed 1,152 patients with bleeding gastric ulcer treated at our institution between 1987 and 2011. Of these, 1,026 patients (89.1%) underwent endoscopic hemostasis. Forrest classification for bleeding ulcers in these cases was as follows: Ia, 188 patients (18.3%); Ib, 114 patients (11.1%); and IIa, 665 patients (64.8%). Endoscopic treatment proved successful in 1,023 patients (99.7%), inc...
متن کاملEpinephrine versus epinephrine plus fibrin glue injection in peptic ulcer bleeding: a prospective randomized trial.
BACKGROUND Peptic ulcer bleeding remains a disease with considerable morbidity and mortality. Epinephrine is the most widely used endoscopic injection agent, but bleeding recurs in 20% of high-risk cases. Fibrin glue might be an ideal injection agent, based on its physiologic properties, despite its demanding injection technique and high cost. The aim of this study was to determine whether the ...
متن کاملPrediction of therapeutic failure after adrenaline injection plus heater probe treatment in patients with bleeding peptic ulcer.
BACKGROUND Continued or recurrent bleeding after endoscopic treatment for bleeding ulcer is a major adverse prognostic factor. Identification of such ulcers may allow for alternate treatments. AIM To determine factors predicting treatment failure with combined adrenaline injection and heater probe thermocoagulation. METHODS Consecutive patients with bleeding peptic ulcers who received endos...
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: Clinical applications in Gastroenterology
sue and most importantly in a non-conduct mode. APC has revealed a remarkable spectrum of clinical applications, raising questions as to whether it should replace laser in clinical practice. The more gastroenterologists familiarize themselves with this technique, the more they appreciate its usefulness. Among its many advantages, the following should be borne in mind: effective and safe coagula...
