The 59-year-old patient suffers from severe laryngitis and chronic coughing. A possible cause is heterotopic gastric mucosa in the proximal esophagus. Argon plasma coagulation is performed by Dr. Torsten Beyna using the Erbe FiAPC® plus … Continue reading Heterotopic gastric mucosa – APC ablation using the FiAPC® plus probe with pulsedAPC® E3.5
APC ablation in radiation proctitis using APC 3 and FiAPC® plus A probe
Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a non-contact ablative therapy to treat the mucosal inflammation or rectal bleeding in patients who have developed proctitis as a result of radiotherapy. This method appears to be very effective. … Continue reading APC ablation in radiation proctitis using APC 3 and FiAPC® plus A probe
Tissue ablation for metal stent ingrowth with APC 3 using FiAPC® probe 2200A in forcedAPC mode
Here we report the case of a 61 year-old-woman who underwent total gastrectomy for cardial adenocarcinoma. Few days later, she developed anastomotic dehiscence, endoscopically treated with stent-in-stent technique. Implementation of a partially covered self-expandable-metal-stent (SEMS) … Continue reading Tissue ablation for metal stent ingrowth with APC 3 using FiAPC® probe 2200A in forcedAPC mode
EMR for lateral spreading tumors (LST) with HybridAPC margin ablation
In a piecemeal EMR, neoplastic tissue may remain at the edge or surface of the resection, which can be the cause of a local recurrence. Thermal ablation after EMR can reduce the recurrence rate by … Continue reading EMR for lateral spreading tumors (LST) with HybridAPC margin ablation
Eradication of residual Barrett´s mucosa with HybridAPC
Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) has been used for thermal ablation of Barrett’s esophagus for years. The flexible HybridAPC probe from Erbe combines now APC with waterjet elevation to create a submucosal protective layer. HybridAPC enables … Continue reading Eradication of residual Barrett´s mucosa with HybridAPC
Thermal ablation of Barrett´s remainder at GEJ with HybridAPC
Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) has been used for thermal ablation of Barrett’s esophagus for years. The flexible HybridAPC probe from Erbe combines now APC with waterjet elevation to create a submucosal protective layer. HybridAPC enables … Continue reading Thermal ablation of Barrett´s remainder at GEJ with HybridAPC
Ablation of Barrett´s esophagus with HybridAPC
In HybridAPC, argon plasma coagulation (APC) is now combined with a waterjet function. Prior to ablation, the mucosa is raised with the aid of the high-pressure waterjet of the flexible HybridAPC probe. The water cushion … Continue reading Ablation of Barrett´s esophagus with HybridAPC
