Case description

Several session of ablative therapy was performed in order to overpass the cardias with the endoscope. APC is a noncontact electrocoagulation device that uses high-frequency monopolar current conducted to target tissues through ionized argon gas (argon plasma) Electrons flow through a channel of electrically activated, ionized argon gas from the probe electrode to the targeted tissue. Current density on arrival at the tissue surface causes coagulation. Coagulation depth is dependent on generator power setting, flow rate of the argon gas, duration of application, and distance of the probe tip to the target tissue.
