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...
متن کاملGastric antral vascular ectasia successfully controlled by argon plasma coagulation.
Dear Editor, Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an uncommon but important cause of chronic gastrointestinal blood loss and iron deficiency anaemia. The syndrome was first described in 1953 by Ryder et al in the gastrectomy specimen of an elderly woman. It was not until 1984 when Jabbari et al described the unique endoscopic appearance as “prominent erythematous stripes radiating in a spo...
