Abstract | A 76-year-old woman was being followed up for chronic anemia secondary to bleeding from vascular ectasias at the gastric antrum and the cardial and subcardial region. On several occasions the patient required fulguration of these lesions with conventional APC, which resulted in no clear improvement. Radiofrequency ablation of these lesions was then attempted using a 90-degree probe, which was successful on antral angiodysplasias but failed to remove lesions in the cardial and subcardial region since anatomy there prevented proper apposition of the probe onto the target mucosa. Given the absence of any improvement, it was decided to use fulguration for angiectasias at the cardial and subcardial level by means of Hybrid-APC, which consists of lifting the mucosa with an injection through the APC probe and then fulgurating in the pulsedAPC® mode, thus achieving a broader ablation area in a shorter time. During the subsequent review a clear reduction of vascular ectasias was observed. |
