 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Argon plasma coagulation treatment of clinical analysis of 67 cases of Barrett esophagus Of: Jian Bai Ying, Wang Yi Qin, Zhao Xiaoyan [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) for Barrett esophagus (BE) of the efficacy and safety. Methods 67 cases of endoscopic APC treatment of BE effect, usually the week, type in the interval 1 week 2 ~ 3 treatments, the tongue-type to 1 or 2 times 1 week interval treatment, island type 1 treatment. postoperative oral proton pump inhibitor omeprazole tablets, treatment time at least 2 months or until the disappearance of reflux symptoms. The efficacy and complications. the last 1 month after APC treatment endoscopy and thereafter once every 3 months endoscopy followed up for 1 year. Results last 1 month after treatment, 61 patients with endoscopy BE completely eliminated (91.0%), no serious complications. follow-up 1 year, 11 cases of columnar epithelium found again. Conclusion APC treatment of BE is safe and effective, its long-term effects require large sample of experimental observation.

Methods A total of 67 patients with BE underwent argon plasma coagulation to completely ablate Barrett’s mucosa, and Omeprazole (20 mg, Bid) was postoperatively received. All patients were followed up with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy once every 3 months. Results All patients received 95 times APC totally with no complications occurred. Relapse was observed in 11 patients with columnar epithelium during 1 year follow up. Conclusion APC are effective and safe on BE with low rate of recurrence.
