Abstract
A 70-year-old Japanese man was hospitalized with type C cirrhosis. Following endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) for esophageal varices (EV), esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was confirmed with multiple vascular telangiectasia and esophageal scars. The patient was admitted with mas-sive hematemesis and underwent an emergency EGD, which revealed EV bleeding. The endoscopic hemostasis procedures
