Abstract
Argon Plasma Coagulationâ�?¢ (APCâ�?¢) has been used in therapeutic interventional endoscopy since its introduction in 1992. In recent years, the range of clinical uses in endoscopy has expanded primarily due to the development of specialized modes and better techniques. APC can now offer individualized treatment options when combined with proper technique, enhancing desired tissue effects and optimize clinical outcomes. The history, advancements and where we are now; and the clinical benefits of APC in comparison to conventional electrosurgery will also be discussed. Clinical variables and safety considerations will also be covered along with APCâ�?�?s ever-expanding role in therapeutic endoscopy.
