We started with post-EMR margin ablation and observed improved recurrence rates. Then we asked ourselves: why not also treat the base prophylactically? In Montreal, we’ve been using a HybridAPC technique for two years in over … Continue reading HybridAPC in EMR – Techniques and considerations / presented by Dr. D. von Renteln at ASGE-Colonoscopy 2024-10
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
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
