简要总结
To see if either method of treatment for Watermelon Stomach shows better results
详细描述
Watermelon stomach (WS) is endoscopically recognized by characteristic stripes of angioectasias involving primarily the antrum, and causes transfusion-dependent anemia in the majority of patients. Current endoscopic treatment options, including argon plasma coagulation (APC) Endoscopic cryotherapy is a novel technique that has the potential to safely and more effectively treat WS by virtue of its mechanism of injury and mode of application.
