argon plasma coagulation, submucosal injection, Barrett Esophagus
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the new technique of HybridAPC in the treatment of Barrett.
Detailed description
After thermal ablation of Barrett's esophagus, stricture formation is reported in 5 to over 10% of patients. Submucosal fluid injection prior to ablation may lower the risk of stricture formation. The new technique of HybridAPC which combines submucosal injection with APC is considered to reduce the complication.
Interventions
HybridAPC is a device which combines submucosal fluid injection with APC
