Bleeding tumor infiltration in the bronchus is treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC). In this case the APC 2 and the flexible probe with circumferential beam from Erbe is used for the hemostasis of tracheobronchial … Continue reading Hemostasis of tracheobronchial bleeding with APC 2
Ablation of esophageal stent ingrowth with APC 2
Proliferation of tumor tissue through the mesh of the esophageal stent often occurs when using non-coated metal stents. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) with flexible probes have proved to be very effective in removing such in- … Continue reading Ablation of esophageal stent ingrowth with APC 2
Ablation of colorectal neoplasia using APC 2
Thermal ablation of colorectal neoplasia with argon plasma coagulation (APC). Performed with the PULSED APC mode of the APC 2 from Erbe. Flexible APC probes with axial and lateral openings are applied.
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
Recanalization of endobronchial tumor with APC 2
A combined approach using APC and subsequent mechanical tumor ablation (for example, using forceps) can be used to effectively treat patients with large tumors and life-threatening stenoses. The circular APC probe 2200, circular, was designed … Continue reading Recanalization of endobronchial tumor with APC 2
