Background : Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is characterized by mucosal and submucosal vascular ectrsia causing recurrent GI hemorrhage. Treatment of GAVE with argon plasma coagulation (APC) requires multiple sessions for control of bleeding . Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) has become the standard treatment of varices . Additionally EBL has been used for control of bleeding from other GI vascular lesions
