Successful Treatment of Severe Spontaneous Periampullary Bleeding with Argon Plasma Coagulation
Periampullary bleeding is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage, which is typically iatrogenic in origin occurring as the result of endoscopic intervention of the papilla. Spontaneous, non-iatrogenic periampullary bleeding is extraordinarily rare with only a few cases reported in the literature to date. Vascular malformations, including angiodysplasia and Dieulafoy's lesio...
متن کاملArgon plasma coagulation for successful treatment of early gastric cancer with intramucosal invasion.
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been an increasing number of cases of early gastric cancer (T1, NX) with intramucosal invasion, which are untreatable by surgical or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) because of their high risk. 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 a...
متن کاملEndoscopic Treatment of Gastric Adenoma with Argon Plasma Coagulation
The term gastric adenoma means a benign lesion of the glandular epithelium having variable degrees of cellular atypia and showing papillary or tubular structures. Because long-term follow-up studies of gastric adenomas reveal malignant transformations, it is well known they are premalignant. Since these lesions lie histologically and clinically on the borderline of between whether they are beni...
متن کاملSevere high grade stenosing hyperkeratosis of the esophagus after ingestion of alkali: successful treatment by argon plasma coagulation.
reversible or irreversible lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract [1]. In cases of alkali ingestion, esophageal strictures concomitant to dysphagia constitute a major problem of the long−term course. Regular follow−up by endoscopy is re− commended owing to the significantly increased risk of developing esophageal carcinoma [2]. In August 2005, a 71−year−old patient with serious dysphagia a...
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...
