  2. Banding (medical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banding_(medical)

    Banding is a medical procedure which uses elastic bands for constriction. Banding may be used to tie off blood vessels in order to stop bleeding, as in the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices. [1] The band restricts blood flow to the ligated tissue, so that it eventually dies and sloughs away from the supporting tissue.

    This is typically in addition to endoscopic banding or sclerotherapy for the varices. [21] If this is sufficient then beta blockers and nitrates may be used for the prevention of re-bleeding. [21] If bleeding continues then balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube or Minnesota tube may be used in an attempt to mechanically compress ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_varices

    Type 1 Gastric Varices: Isolated to the fundus; Type 2 Gastric Varices: Anywhere in the stomach, or duodenum; Type 1 isolated gastric varices were seen only in primary cases (i.e. without prior sclerotherapy) in the original study of Sarin et al. (1992), while type 1 gastroesophageal varices were the most common overall. [3]

  7. Sugiura procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugiura_Procedure

    The Sugiura procedure was originally developed to treat bleeding esophageal varices and consisted mainly of an esophagogastric devascularization. It was developed in Japan in 1973 [ 1 ] as a nonshunting technique that achieved variceal bleeding hemostasis by interrupting the variceal blood flow along the gastroesophageal junction.

  8. Sengstaken–Blakemore tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengstaken–Blakemore_tube

    The use of the tube was originally described in 1950, [1] although similar approaches to bleeding varices were described by Westphal in 1930. [2] With the advent of modern endoscopic techniques which can rapidly and definitively control variceal bleeding, Sengstaken–Blakemore tubes are rarely used at present.

  9. Gastric antral vascular ectasia - Wikipedia

    [1] [2] The condition is associated with dilated small blood vessels in the gastric antrum, which is a distal part of the stomach. [1] The dilated vessels result in intestinal bleeding. [3] It is also called watermelon stomach because streaky long red areas that are present in the stomach may resemble the markings on watermelon. [1] [2] [3] [4]
