Endoscopic therapy can be done by following methods:[2]

  • Injection therapy:
    • Injection of diluted epinephrine (1:10,000) is commonly used[3]
    • injection of sclerosant
  • Thermal coagulation:
    • Contact types -heater probe, monopolar and bipolar electrocoagulation
    • Noncontact types -laser treatment, argon plasma coagulation [APC][4]
  • Mechanical Devices-Endooclips are used commonly[5][6]
  • Combined Therapy-injection of diluted epinephrine followed by thermal coagulation[4]
