Endoscopic band ligation versus argon plasma coagulation in the treatment of gastric antral vascular ectasia systematic review and meta-analysis (2025) Archit Garg, MD

Description

This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) versus Endoscopic Band Ligation (EBL) in treating Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE). The study concludes that EBL demonstrates better eradication with fewer treatment sessions, reduced recurrent bleeding, and lower hospitalization and transfusion requirements compared to APC.
