Hemostatic methods that use standard therapy for esophageal varices have not been found effective for gastric varices. Due to their large size and extensive distribution, it is difficult if not impossible to eradicate gastric varices with sclerotherapy or band ligation. More importantly, tissue necrosis resulting from these endoscopic interventions can cause significant and sometimes disastrous complications.
