Abstract
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a common finding in endoscopic examinations of patients with liver cirrhosis. Although GAVE was first described in 1953 by Rider et al., its etiology as a cause of massive gastric bleeding is not fully understood. Herein, we discuss the theme of gastric hyperplastic polyps (HPs) after endoscopic band ligation (EBL) for GAVE.
