Patients underwent EGD on Day 2 to confirm hemostasis, and if necessary any blood vessels visible in the ulcer base were cauterized using a soft coagulation wave (Soft Coag, Effect 6, 80 W).
To control bleeding during ESD or to prevent possible bleeding from visible vessels in the artificial ulcer immediately after resection, a hemostatic forceps (Coagrasper, Olympus) was used in the soft coagulation mode (Effect 5, 60 W).
Larger vessels in the submucosa were coagulated using the forceps in the soft coagulation mode (80 W, effect 5).
MT patients in our study may not be directly comparable with those studied at other centres, due to our use of coagulation factor concentrates for coagulation therapy.
Thermal coagulation techniques, such as argon plasma coagulation (APC) and soft coagulation, may be used as adjuncts when snare resection of small residual fragments of polyp is not possible (GRADE of evidence: low; Strength of recommendation: strong).
Thermal coagulation techniques such as APC and soft coagulation may be used as adjuncts when snare resection of small residual fragments of polyp is not possible (GRADE of evidence: low; Strength of recommendation: strong).
In the porcine model, smaller increases were observed, possibly due to the use of human coagulation factor-deficient plasma in the porcine coagulation factor assays.
Coagulation modes with different techniques and electrodes lead to different voltage levels, including modulation of high-frequency (HF) current with soft coagulation, forced coagulation or spray coagulation.
Should you use hard of soft bristles?
Liver transection was performed using the Pean clamp-crushing technique and TissueLink (TissueLink Medical Inc., Dover, DE) or a VIO soft coagulation system (ERBE, Elektromedizin GmbH, Germany).
