Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL Band), also known as band ligation, is a minimally invasive procedure performed to treat variceal bleeding. This technique involves the use of an endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera, to visualize and access the varices (enlarged veins) in the gastrointestinal tract.
During the EVL Band procedure, small elastic bands are placed around the varices to prevent further bleeding. The bands effectively obstruct the blood flow, causing the varices to shrink and eventually disappear. By eliminating the risk of rupture and rebleeding, EVL Band offers a long-term solution for patients suffering from variceal bleeding.
Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL) is a procedure in which an enlarged vein or a varix (the plural is varices) in the esophagus is tied off or ligated by a rubber band delivered via an endoscope. It is also called rubber band ligation.
Esophageal varices develop as a complication of a sustained increase in blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension), most commonly found in cirrhosis. The major problem with Esophageal Varices is the risk of bleeding.
EVL is used control or stop bleeding or to prevent re-bleeding. The success of the procedure is in the range of 90%. The procedure is performed as in regular EGD. An accompanying device is inserted into the endoscope channel which allows the delivery of ligating rubber bands to the engorged varix. Number of banding depends on the varices seen and may average 4-6.
Complications associated with EVL include additional bleeding due to tearing additional varices, ulceration of the lining over the varices, perforation or tear of the esophagus and aspiration of blood or gastric juice into the lungs.
