Case description

Ablative Therapy with APC. 90 W. argon plasma coagulation (APC) for the ablation of Barrett's esophagus. Preliminary studies have demonstrated reversal of Barrett's mucosa after endoscopic coagulation with different techniques associated with acid inhibition. However, most of these studies have shown that residual Barrett's glands are found underneath the new squamous epithelium in up to 40% of patients.
