Robert D. Marks, Muoi D. Arnold, Todd H. Baron

Abstract

Endoscopic sclerotherapy has been the therapy of choice for controlling acute variceal hemorrhage. Recently, endoscopic band ligation has been utilized for the management of esophageal varices with fewer complications and greater efficacy. We report the pathologic findings in the human esophagus 5 days after esophageal variceal band ligation.
