Variceal Banding

Variceal Banding Treatment in Indore by Dr. Sarang Mahanaik

Variceal Banding is a specialized endoscopic procedure used to treat esophageal varices—enlarged veins in the esophagus that can cause life-threatening bleeding. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a leading gastroenterologist in Indore, provides expert variceal banding services to manage and prevent complications associated with portal hypertension and liver disease.

Overview of Variceal Banding

Esophageal varices develop due to increased pressure in the portal vein system, commonly caused by liver cirrhosis. These dilated veins are prone to rupture, leading to severe bleeding. Variceal banding involves placing small rubber bands around the enlarged veins during an endoscopy to cut off their blood supply, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear.

This minimally invasive procedure is highly effective in controlling acute bleeding and preventing future episodes.

Indications for Variceal Banding

Variceal banding is typically recommended for:

• Patients with diagnosed esophageal varices at risk of bleeding

• Management of active variceal bleeding emergencies

• Prevention of recurrent bleeding in patients with portal hypertension

• Patients with liver cirrhosis requiring preventive care
