case_images: Index OGD showing a single remaining varix in 2 o'clock position.. Notes: Arrows indicate the culprit varix prior to banding.. Abbreviation: OGD, esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy.

case_images: This second procedure showed a single remaining varix in the 2 o'clock position without obvious scarring, but perhaps with a minor narrowing of the distal esophagus (Figure 1).
case_images: Necrotic banded varix in 2 o'clock position with some food residue.. Note: The arrows indicate the position of the band.

case_images: The findings were of a nubbin of necrotic tissue encased by a visible band in the distal esophagus and a small amount of food residue above it (Figure 2).
case_images: CT chest demonstrating soft tissue nodule in distal esophagus, likely representing banded varix.. Note: Arrows indicate the soft tissue nodule within distal esophagus.. Abbreviation: CT, computed tomography.

case_images: A computed tomography scan of her chest demonstrated distal esophageal wall thickening and a soft tissue nodule (likely representing the banded varix) just above the GOJ, but without other complications (Figure 3).
case_images: Distal esophageal stricture seen on barium swallow study on day 17.. Note: The arrows indicate distal esophageal stricture.

case_images: Progress thereafter was slow with a negligible oral fluid intake on day 17, barium swallow at that time indicating delayed esophageal clearance with an underlying stricture (Figure 4).
case_images: Semicircular scar in distal esophagus 42 days after the index procedure.. Note: The arrows indicate the scar.
