Anti-Reflux Ablation of the Cardiac Mucosa (Arma) Using Argon Plasma Coagulation
A 23 year-old-man with PPI-dependent GERD. The cardiac mucosa was marked with argon catheter, from the Z line up to 3cm distally in a butterfly shape, sparing 1cm of healthy mucosa in the greater and lesser curvatures. After submucosal injection of a colloid, indigo carmine and adrenaline, the marked region is ablated (APC Forced coagulation, 100W, effect 3). One month later the patient presented dysphagia secondary to stenosis of the gastroesophageal junction, treated successfuly with 13.5mm balloon dilatation. The patient has no GERD symptoms without PPI at month 5.
