Life-Saving Treatment for Esophageal Varices

Esophageal variceal banding is a highly effective endoscopic procedure used to treat enlarged veins (varices) in the esophagus that can cause serious or life-threatening bleeding. This minimally invasive treatment helps control bleeding and reduces the risk of recurrence.

What is Esophageal Variceal Banding?

It is an endoscopic procedure in which small elastic bands are placed around the enlarged veins in the esophagus. These bands cut off the blood supply to the varices, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear.

Why is it Done?

This procedure is recommended for patients who:

• Have liver disease leading to portal hypertension
• Are at risk of variceal bleeding
• Have experienced bleeding from esophageal varices
• Require preventive treatment to avoid future complications

How the Procedure Works

• A flexible endoscope is gently passed through the mouth into the esophagus
• The enlarged veins are identified
• Small rubber bands are applied to the varices
• The treated veins shrink and heal over time
