Case description

Treatment of short segment of Barrett´s esophagus with APC of high-frequency current coagulation. There has been a recent focus on "short segment" Barrett's esophagus--intestinal metaplasia in the distal esophagus <3 cm in length. Short segment Barrett's esophagus needs to be distinguished from intestinal metaplasia of the gastric cardia, a lesion of the stomach that cannot be seen on routine endoscopy, with less well defined epidemiology and significance.
