Abstract
: Background and aim: Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but serious cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is used to treat GAVE, with considerable failure rate. The present study aimed to compare between APC and endoscopic band ligation (EBL) for GAVE treatment in HCV-related liver cirrhosis patients regarding efficacy and safety. Patients
