%X La Ectasia Vascular G芍strica Antral es una rara causa de sangrado digestivo alto y la ablaci車n con arg車n plasma resulta la primera l赤nea de tratamiento actual. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar la efectividad y seguridad del APC en el tratamiento de este s赤ndrome, en pacientes atendidos en el Centro Nacional de Cirug赤a de M赤nimo Acceso. Se presenta una casu赤stica retrospectiva de 11 pacientes, con predominio femenino (8 pacientes) y rango de edades entre 28 y 81 a os, quienes recibieron ablaci車n con APC por sesiones, con seguimiento posterior de 12 meses. Predomin車 la cirrosis hep芍tica entre los antecedentes patol車gicos personales, la anemia como forma de presentaci車n cl赤nica y la variedad difusa. El n迆mero de sesiones de arg車n oscil車 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 endosc車pica. 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.
