Brief Summary:
To see if either method of treatment for Watermelon Stomach shows better results
Detailed Description:
Watermelon stomach (WS) is endoscopically recognized by characteristic stripes of angioectasias involving primarily the antrum, and causes transfusion-dependent anemia in the majority of patients. Current endoscopic treatment options, including argon plasma coagulation (APC) Endoscopic cryotherapy is a novel technique that has the potential to safely and more effectively treat WS by virtue of its mechanism of injury and mode of application.
