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.
