Feasibility and safety of argon plasma coagulation as hemostatic tool during medical thoracoscopy
MT with APC appears to be a safe and effective technique for achieving hemostasis following pleural biopsy, with a low complication rate. This study provides a foundation for future research on the role of APC in pleuroscopy and its potential advantages over conventional hemostatic techniques.
