Upfront endoscopic band ligation for symptomatic gastric angioectasias to reduce peri‐endoscopic complexity with an automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator in situ

Abstract

Argon plasma coagulation (APC) remains the mainstay endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal angioectasia. Vis‐a‐vis automated implanted cardioverter defibrillators (AICD) endoscopic band ligation (EBL) represents an alternative without need for heart‐rhythm specialty support.
