[Experimental endovascular electrocoagulation. Use of alternating current and a bipolar electrode (preliminary study) (author's transl)].
Early experimental studies have shown that it is possible to obtain vascular obliteration and clot formation using monopolar direct current electrocoagulation. There is a major risk of rupture of blood vessels if alternating current is used. Using a co-axial bipolar electrode and high frequency alternating current it was possible to obtain valid, reproducible, and safe vascular obliteration in the distal digestive tract arteries in dogs. The obliteration is due to lesions of the intima and the formation of a clot in situ.
