Another case of GAVE #


A 65-year-old woman presented to the endoscopy unit for follow up endotherapy for esophageal varices (the third session of follow-up band ligation for esophageal varices). The scope revealed the characteristic watermelon of GAVE in the pyloric region. The GAVE appearance is similar to the stria rubra# of the skin (are you agree with me).The question: is there a relationship between band ligation and the appearance of GAVE
