Sažetak
A treatment of Barrett¢s esophagus by argon plasma coagulation (APC) in a female patient is described, after unsuccessful treatment with double dose of proton pump inhibitors (PPI¢s) following guidelines. The diagnosis is confirmed by pathohistological (PHD) tissue analysis, that is obtained by biopsy of esophagogastric (EG) junction. After double treatement by APC, control biopsy was performed, and pathohistological diagnosis was chronic gastritis. After one year, control biopsy confirmed again the diagnosis of Barrett esophagus. PPI¢s were given to the patient, and complete regression was confirmed by biopsy of EG junction.
