There is now a substantial body of data that suggests that endoscopic band ligation is a safe and effective treatment for both acute esophageal variceal bleeding and the prevention of bleeding. Use of band ligation in the management of a number of other bleeding and nonbleeding conditions also appears to be efficacious.
