Although laser and heated-probe therapies for the condition have been quite well studied, the promising technique of argon plasma coagulation (APC) has not. Australian researchers evaluated 100 ...

Currently, no adequate treatment is available for such patients. Aim: The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether argon plasma coagulation (APC) is an effective and safe modality for ...

This can be symptomatic and lead to dysphagia, chronic globus sensation and or reflux symptoms. We aimed to determine the long-term effects of argon plasma coagulation (APC) ablation of oesophageal ...

Endobronchial electrocautery and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are modes of thermal tissue destruction that may be used via the flexible or rigid bronchoscope. Similar to laser tissue destruction ...

Thermal devices can be divided into contact (heater probe, monopolar and bipolar electrocoagulation) and noncontact types (laser treatment, argon plasma coagulation [APC]). While the hemostatic ...

We present the case of an 83-year-old woman admitted with acute upper GI bleeding that was refractory to both endoscopic ablation with argon plasma coagulation and gastroduodenal artery embolisation .

Bronchoscopic interventions include 18 cases of tumour debulking (partial to complete) using coring technique, rigid forceps, balloon dilatation and Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC); 5 tracheo-bronchial ...
