Excerpt

Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a technique of inducing superficial thermal effects on tissue by argon discharge at atmospheric pressure. It was first adapted for use in endoscopy in 1991 and has since became a commonly applied technique [1, 2]. Application of APC in endoscopy is broadly classified into hemostatic and ablative. Its ablative ability has been used to treat early gastric cancers, tumor in-growths into stents, Barrett’s esophagus and radiation proctitis [1, 3]. …
