Brief Summary

Without submucosal injection, the incidence of damaging the muscularis propria increased as the power and duration increased. Tissue damage in the injection group was mostly confined to the submucosa, even in the high-power setting. In the injection group, ablations at 40 W for 20 s, 60 W for 15 s, and 80 W for 15 or 20 s produced success rates =80%. In the control group, ablations at 60 W for 10 s, and 80 W for 5 or 10 s produced success rates =80%. The optimal energy levels to achieve complete mucosal and submucosal necrosis without damaging the muscularis propria were 800-1,600 and 600-800 J in the injection and controls, respectively.
