Banding of Swollen Veins in the Gullet

Vermont rates for HCPCS 43205

Passes a flexible camera on a thin tube through the mouth into the gullet and places small elastic bands around swollen veins in its lining, cutting off their blood supply so they shrivel and scar over. It stops bleeding from those veins or prevents a first bleed, which is a serious risk in people with liver disease.
