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
Papillotomy using ENDO CUT® I
The fractionated cutting mode ENDO CUT I is characterized by alternating cutting and coagulation cycles. This makes it possible to carry out controlled cutting with sufficient hemostasis during the entire cutting process, which supports the … Continue reading Papillotomy using ENDO CUT® I
