Case description

To overcome this bleeding the argon plasma coagulator was used. Endoscopic ligation of esophageal varices combined with APC is superior to ligation alone. Since APC is theoretically well suited for mucosal fibrosis therapy, it can be used for the complete elimination of esophageal varices and for fibrosis of the distal esophageal mucosa.
