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 leads to varices in the esophagus and stomach, which can bleed; B) a needle has been introduced (via the jugular vein) and is passing from the hepatic vein into the portal vein; c) the tract is dilated with a balloon; D) after placement of a stent, portal pressure is normalized and the coronary and umbilical veins no longer fill.
This is in addition to endoscopic banding or sclerotherapy for the varices. [13] If this is sufficient then beta blockers and nitrates may be used for the prevention of re-bleeding. [13] If bleeding continues, balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube or Minnesota tube may be used in an attempt to mechanically compress the varices. [13]
