STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of endobronchial argon plasma coagulation (APC) for the treatment of hemoptysis and neoplastic airway obstruction. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Bronchoscopy unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS A total of 60 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma (n = 43), metastatic tumors affecting the bronchi (n = 14), or benign bronchial disease (n = ...
متن کاملEndobronchial argon plasma coagulation for treatment of Dieulafoy disease.
Dieulafoy disease of the bronchus is a rare condition. A 28-y-old male patient with recurrent exacerbations of hemoptysis (producing up to 300 mL) over the previous 4 y was admitted to our hospital following an acute episode. A 3-mm sessile lesion covered with somewhat ulcerated smooth mucosa was detected at the distal end of the left main bronchus, at the entrance to the upper lobe bronchus. B...
متن کاملEndobronchial Schwannoma Treated by Rigid Bronchoscopy with Argon Plasma Coagulation
Primary endobronchial schwannomas are extremely rare tumors that originate from Schwann cells. We report a case of primary endobronchial schwannoma. A 44-year-old woman, without respiratory symptoms, was presented with a nodule in the left main bronchus on her chest computed tomography scan. The nodule was removed by a rigid bronchoscopy with argon plasma coagulation. Biopsy confirmed the diagn...
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...
