Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an important cause of gastro-intestinal bleeding. The most common clinical presentation of GAVE is chronic occult bleeding that leads to symptomatic iron deficiency anemia, but some cases could present with acute massive bleeding. Frequently, patients are dependent by iron suplimentation, or in severe cases even blood transfusions. Endoscopic therapy is frequently necessary in acute or chronic blood loss. Over the past several years, treatment for GAVE has continued to evolve as the number of available effective therapeutic interventions has increased. These included: YAG laser, argon plasma coagulation (APC), endoscopic band ligation, cryotherapy and surgical anterectomy. Argon plasma coagulation is the most commonly used technique, but has been associated with several complications like sepsis, post-APC bleeding, gastric outlet obstruction and increased incidence of hyperplastic polyps. Endoscopic band ligation (EBL), a mechanical procedure, has been reported in the past years as an effective salvage therapy for GAVE that is refractory to other approaches, or even as the first line treatment. We present a case of nodular GAVE treated succesfully with endoscopic band ligation after unsuccesufull sessions with argon plasma coagulation.
