World J Clin Cases. 2021 Jan 26;9(3):521-527 Authors: Song Y, Feng Y, Sun LH, Zhang BJ, Yao HJ, Qiao JG, Zhang SF, Zhang P, Liu B Abstract With the development of endoscopic therapy, argon plasma coagulation (APC) has been widely used by endoscopists. It has many advantages, such as simple to operate, low cost, and minimal invasiveness. Because of its capability of lesion ablation and hemostasis, APC has several indications in the gastrointestinal tract. One of them is esophageal varices. The aim of this review is to summarize the research on APC in this field to provide a reference for clinical practice. PMID: 33553390 [PubMed] View on the web Inoreader.
