Brief Summary: overall aim To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic band ligation and endoscopic argon plasma coagulation for the management of gastric antral vascular ectasia
Secondary aims

1 Study risk factors of GAVE
2 Prevalence of GAVE among causes of non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding
Detailed Description: Gastric antral vascular ectasia GAVE is a capillary-type vascular malformation characterized endoscopically by red angiomatous lesions originating in the antrum and organized either in stripes or in a diffuse pattern

GAVE may cause chronic iron-deficiency anemia with or without the presence of overt gastrointestinal bleeding manifested commonly by melena may account for about 4 of the causes of non-variceal bleeding

GAVE can be isolated or associated with systemic conditions especially in patients with liver cirrhosis scleroderma chronic renal failure and after bone marrow transplantation

Multiple mechanisms have been proposed as the origin of its development These have included gastric dysmotility leading to chronic mucosal trauma and subsequent fibromuscular hyperplasia and vascular ectasia or an autoimmune reaction to gastric blood vessels among the main contributing factors

Management of GAVE-related gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically challenging issue In the last two decades many therapeutic options and modalities have been applied for GAVE including medical endoscopic and surgical management

Endoscopic management including different options such as cryotherapy argon photo coagulation APC Neodymium-yttrium-aluminum garnet laser coagulation radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic band ligation

The first case using endoscopic band ligation as salvage treatment for GAVE was reported in 2006 After two sessions of EBL with a Multi-Band Ligature hemoglobin became stable and serum ferritin normalized in 16 months of follow up

Some studies show that management of GAVE with endoscopic band ligation superior to APC in bleeding cessation and fewer treatment sessions
