Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for APC refractory gastric antral vascular ectasia using the HALO90 system in a kidney transplant candidate

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Endoscopic ablation, such as argon plasma coagulation (APC), is usually successful, but treatment-refractory cases do occur. Recently, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been described as an...

Descrição
Resumo:Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Endoscopic ablation, such as argon plasma coagulation (APC), is usually successful, but treatment-refractory cases do occur. Recently, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been described as an alternative therapeutic option for GAVE, or actinic proctitis, with positive results and minor complications.
