Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The current standard endoscopic treatment is with APC. There have been multiple reports and case series in the literature about successful treatment with EBL for GAVE, even in cases where APC was unsuccessful for treatment of GAVE. Our goal is to compare the standard APC treatment with EBL in patients with Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia.
