Banding ligation is only more efficient than injection sclerotherapy in controlling variceal bleeding , but also had lower failure rate and higher safety profile ( low rates of both major and minor complication ) . Also, both early and late rebleeding rates is low with ligation ( the latter was not significant ) . Mortality was not different among both groups
