Case description

Two rubber bands were applied to the bleeding varix. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was developed in an effort to find an effective means of treating esophageal varices endoscopically with fewer complications than sclerotherapy. The concept was based upon many years of experience treating hemorrhoids with rubber band ligation in patients with and without portal hypertension.
