Abstract

Multipolar electrocoagulation (MPEC) is a readily available technique that can be applied for endoscopic ablation of Barrett's esophagus. MPEC, in combination with high dose proton pump inhibitor therapy or antireflux surgery, results in normal squamous epithelium in most patients without major adverse effects. The ultimate clinical role of MPEC has not been determined but may be adjunctive to other techniques in appropriately selected patients at high risk for neoplastic progression.
