Utilization of low-temperature helium plasma (J-Plasma) for dissection and hemostasis during carotid endarterectomy
Herein we report nine cases of carotid endarterectomy in which we used a cold atmospheric helium plasma device (J-Plasma; Apyx Medical Corporation, Clearwater, Fla). Although clinical reports are limited, experimental data indicate that this technology could be used for dissection and coagulation du...

| description | Herein we report nine cases of carotid endarterectomy in which we used a cold atmospheric helium plasma device (J-Plasma; Apyx Medical Corporation, Clearwater, Fla). Although clinical reports are limited, experimental data indicate that this technology could be used for dissection and coagulation during surgery, yielding limited adjacent tissue damage. As a result, it could be extremely useful in procedures like carotid endarterectomy that necessitate careful dissection and coagulation with limited damage of adjacent neurovascular structures.
