Argon plasma coagulation therapy for ablation of Barrett's oesophagus.
arrett's oesophagus (BO) is undoubtedly associated with an increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. 1 Now that therapeutic endoscopy techniques have improved, it is therefore tempting to ablate Barrett's intestinal metaplasia in order to decrease the risk of tumour development. However , ablation therapy is still controversial , especially for patients having no dysplasia, due to: (1...
متن کاملHistological and histochemical changes in the columnar lined (Barrett's) oesophagus.
Multiple endoscopic specimens were obtained from 58 patients with a columnar lined gesophagus to study the histological and histochemical features of this metaplastic epithelium. Five patients (8.6%) had presented with a primary oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Three different epithelial types, junctional, atrophic fundic and intestinal were identified. Twenty two (38%) patients had just one type of...
متن کاملTracheomediastinal Fistula in a Patient With Lung Adenocarcinoma and Its Treatment With Argon Plasma Coagulation
Tracheomediastinal fistula is a rare complication that occurs during the course of lung cancer. The fistula connects the airways to the mediastinum and is often associated with lymphoma. Clinical data on tracheomediastinal fistulas are limited to case reports. Tracheal stenting, pericardial and omental patch closure, and muscle flap closure can be performed to repair such fistulas. We herein re...
متن کاملargon plasma coagulation in treatment of post intubation tracheal stenosis
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...
