Argon 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 کاملDevelopment of hyperplastic polyps following argon plasma coagulation of gastric antral vascular ectasia
The etiology of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) syndrome or gastric hyperplastic polyps (HPs) is not fully understood. We report a case of gastric HP arising in a patient treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) for GAVE syndrome. Despite unclear etiologic progression, this and previously reported cases suggest a temporal relationship between the treatment of GAVE and HP. A 68-year-ol...

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].

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...
