• APC or Argon Plasma Coagulation is a special technique used through endoscopy to treat gastrointestinal bleeding from certain lesions and also to debulk tumours which are inoperable.
• A probe can be passed through the endoscope and this can supply a jet of ionised Argon which also emits high frequency electric current resulting in coagulation of the lesion.

• Angiodysplasia (abnormal small areas anywhere in the GI tract with abnormal vasculature which can bleed.)
• Ablation of tumours (Reducing the tumour bulk and also to treat tumour bleeds within the GI tract)
• Radiation Proctitis
• Coagulation post polypectomy and acute bleed
• GAVE (Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia)
• Management of Barrett’s dysplasia and oesophageal cancer
