Case description

The bleeding was overcome easily with this therapeutical resource. Use of argon plasma coagulation (APC) to promote mucosal fibrosis has been described in some clinical setting. Argon Plasma Coagulator is a new device that allows for non-contact monopolar coagulation of bleeding surfaces, and devitalization of tissue in the gastrointestinal tract. It is safer and much less expensive than lasers, more effective than bipolar cauterization techniques.
