Review Case ReportsEndoscopic band ligation for transverse colonic variceal bleeding: case report and review of the literature.
Colonic varices are lesser-known in comparison with gastroesophageal varices in a complication associated with liver cirrhosis. The ideal therapeutic intervention for a colonic varix is still unclear. We report a 42 year-old man with 20 years of alcohol use who presented with hematochezia and abdominal distension. ⋯ It is extremely rare for colonic varices to be treated with EBL. There is only one similar case in reported literature, but it seems to be safe and effective as an intervention for EBL for acute colonic variceal bleeding. SIMILAR CASES: Second case treated by endoscopic band ligation.
