Argon plasma coagulation in the management of uncovered tracheal stent fracture
Endotracheal and endobronchial stenting, particularly with uncovered stents, can be complicated by stent fracture, granulation tissue formation, direct airway injury, and airway obstruction. While stent removal is possible, it can result in significant complications and long-term benefit is not guaranteed. Argon plasma coagulation can be employed to trim fractured stent fragments and remove gra...
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...
متن کاملConservative management of massive pneumoperitoneum after argon plasma coagulation.
Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a safe and effective technique that is widely used for the treatment of gastrointestinal vascular lesions. It is considered the technique of choice for the management of these lesions. Rendu–Osler–Weber disease is a condition characterized by the appearance of arteriovenous malformations of the skin, mucous membranes and various organs, typically presenting gas...
متن کاملIn Vitro and in Vivo studies of the Effects of Cold Argon Plasma on Decreasing the Coagulation Time
Introduction Cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. These properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. The aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...
