Case description

The varix was successfully ligated. Endoscopic variceal ligation is associated with lower rebleeding rates and a lower frequency of esophageal strictures. Fewer sessions are required to achieve variceal obliteration when compared to sclerotherapy. Endoscopic variceal ligation is considered the endoscopic treatment of choice in the prevention of rebleeding. Sessions are repeated at 7- to 14-day intervals until variceal obliteration (usually 2-4 sessions)
