contact technique of electrocoagulation in which energy is transmitted via ion− ized argon gas flow. The tip of the cathe− ter should be kept between 1 mm and 3 mm away from the mucosa. APC has be− come increasingly popular for treating gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE). Its main advantage is that coagulation is more superficial, thus reducing the risk of complications [1].
