A Prospective Study of Endoscopic Esophageal Variceal Ligation Using a Multiband Ligator

Abstract

Endoscopic variceal ligation is highly effective in obliterating esophageal varices in children. The use of a multibander device for endoscopic variceal ligation is technically feasible and safe even in small children, and its use results in more rapid ablation of esophageal varices.
