Abstract
A 63 year-old woman with a cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B infection was admitted to our hospital with massive tarry stool. Endoscopy revealed bleeding duodenal vascular ectasia in the posterior wall of the second portion. We performed Endoscopic Band Ligation (EBL) for the bleeding duodenal vascular ectasia. EBL may be effective in treating the bleeding duodenal vascular ectasia.
