Abstract
Unlabelled: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation makes use of warm energy to ablate the esophagus's surface where the epithelial anomaly is located.
Patients and methods: 50 adults patients with the diagnosis of EB according to Vienna Classification were included.
Objectives: To evaluate the security and efficacy of ARF in patients with EB.
Results: 50 ARF treated patients were included with a medium follow up of 18 months. The median age was 58 years. 1.4 sessions of ARF perpatient were made to obtain EB erradication. The procedure morbidity was 6%, the more frequent complication was the esophageal stenosis (two cases). During the follow up, intestinal metaplasia recurrence was not observed.
Conclusions: In the experience of our team, ARF is a secure procedure with low morbidity. These observations added to the published results help to evaluate the currentfollow up protocols.
