Case description

Endoscopic application of rubber band onto the bleeding site. Technique uses a device attached to the tip of the endoscope that allows the varix to be suctioned into a banding chamber, whereupon an elastic band is then deployed around the base of the captured varix. After 3 to 7 days the ligated tissue sloughs, leaving a shallow ulceration with scar tissue.
