ABSTRACT

La Ectasia Vascular Gástrica Antral es una rara causa de sangrado digestivo alto y la ablación con argón plasma resulta la primera línea de tratamiento actual. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar la efectividad y seguridad del APC en el tratamiento de este síndrome, en pacientes atendidos en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía de Mínimo Acceso. Se presenta una casuística retrospectiva de 11 pacientes, con predominio femenino (8 pacientes) y rango de edades entre 28 y 81 años, quienes recibieron ablación con APC por sesiones, con seguimiento posterior de 12 meses. Predominó la cirrosis hepática entre los antecedentes patológicos personales, la anemia como forma de presentación clínica y la variedad difusa. El número de sesiones de argón osciló entre 1 y 4 con promedio de 2.5, con una recidiva durante el seguimiento y no se presentaron complicaciones mayores secundarias a la terapia endoscópica.


Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and Argon Plasma ablation is its current first line treatment. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness and safety of argon plasma coagulation in the treatment of this syndrome in a sample of patients treated at the National Center for Minimal Access Surgery. We present a retrospective series of cases of 11 patients with female predominance (8 patients) and age range between 28 and 81 years who received APC ablations sessions with subsequent follow up within 12 months. Hepatic cirrhosis predominated among the personal pathological antecedents, anemia was the most common clinical presentation followed by a wide variety of symptoms. The number of sessions with argon fluctuated between one and four for a 2.5 average and with recurrence during the follow up period. There were not major secondary complications to endoscopy therapy.
