1Endoscopic resolution and recurrence of gastric antral vascular ectasia after serial treatment with argon plasma coagulation显示文摘AIM To evaluate long-term endoscopic resolution and recurrence rate of gastric antral vascular ectasia(GAVE) after argon plasma coagulation(APC) treatment.METHODS This was an IRB-approved retrospective single center study that included patients endoscopically treated for GAVE between 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2014. The primary and secondary end points of the study were rate of endoscopic resolution of GAVE after APC treatment and recurrence rate of GAVE after endoscopic resolution, respectively. Endoscopic resolution of GAVE was defined as no endoscopic evidence of GAVE after treatment with APC. Recurrence of GAVE was defined as endoscopic reappearance of GAVE after prior resolution.RESULTS Twenty patients met the study criteria. Median age(range) of the patients was 59.5 years(42-74 years). GAVE was associated with underlying cirrhosis in 16(80%) patients. Indications for initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) included hematemesis and/or melena(9/20, 45%), iron deficiency anemia(6/20, 30%), screening or surveillance of varices(4/20, 20%), and occult gastrointestinal bleeding(1/20, 5%). The patients were treated with a total of 55 APC sessions(range 1-7 sessions). Successful endoscopic resolution of GAVE wasachieved in 8 out of 20 patients(40%). There was no correlation between number of treatment sessions and GAVE treatment success(P = NS). Recurrence of GAVE was noted on a subsequent EGD in 2 out of 8 patients(25%) with prior endoscopic resolution of GAVE. Median follow-up period for the study population was 627 d(range 63-1953 d).CONCLUSION Endoscopic resolution rate of GAVE was low(40%) with a 25% recurrence rate after treatment with APC. These rates suggest that APC treatment of GAVE may not be optimal in many circumstances.Shashank Garg Bilal Aslam Nicholas Nickl 2017World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2017,9,6:5
