Upfront endoscopic band ligation for symptomatic gastric angioectasias to reduce peri-endoscopic complexity with an automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator in situ

Argon plasma coagulation (APC) remains the mainstay endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal angioectasia. Vis-a-vis automated implanted cardioverter defibrillators (AICD) endoscopic band ligation (EBL) represents an alternative without need for heart-rhythm specialty support.
