Target number of participants: 48
Treatments
Experimental: argon plasma coagulation (APC).
APC Standard APC equipment will be used, consisting of a high-frequency electrosurgical generator (ICC 350; ERBE, Tübingen, Germany), an argon source which is regulated automatically (APC 300) and APC probe.
Experimental: endoscopic band ligation.
endoscopic band ligation will be carried out using a Saeed Multi-Band Ligator (Cook Medical, WinstonSalem, NC), and ligation bands were placed on the GAVE.
