Aims: The coagulation effect of endoscopic thermal techniques for the treatment of gastrointestinal angiodysplasias has been proven for years. APC is a thermal coagulation technique that uses ionized argon to transmit high-frequency electrical current, contact free, to tissue. However, data from the new APC -VIO -300D -system with amplified power settings and different application modes is lacking. Precise APC is one of the new modes and characterized by a small and distinctive energy input, higher reproducibility of tissue effects which is almost independent of the probe distance. The maximum depth of coagulati…
