RANGEL-PANIZ, Graziella e SANCHEZ-LUNA, Sergio A.. Post-esophageal banding ulcers and proton-pump inhibitors: Friend or foe?. Endoscopia [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.4, pp.141-143. Epub 11-Out-2021. ISSN 2444-6483. https://doi.org/10.24875/end.20000038.
Gastroesophageal varices are a common complication from portal hypertension. Endoscopic variceal banding is currently recommended by guidelines as both therapeutic, in case of hemorrhage, and prophylactic measure. In this brief case report, we try to highlight the importance of proton-pump inhibitors to prevent post-banding ulcer bleeding.
