Safety of argon plasma coagulation for small bowel angiodysplasia during balloon-assisted enteroscopy in patients on antithrombotic therapy: a single-centre observational cohort study
Evaluate the safety of argon plasma coagulation for treating small bowel angiodysplasia in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy.
Conducted a single-centre observational cohort study.
Involved patients with small bowel angiodysplasia undergoing balloon-assisted enteroscopy.
Retained antithrombotic therapy during the procedure.
APC was performed safely without interrupting antithrombotic therapy.
The procedure was successful even in older patients with a high burden of lesions.
Resumen
APC for small bowel angiodysplasia during BAE was performed safely without interrupting antithrombotic therapy, including in older patients with high lesion burden.
