Esophagus Variceal
For my brother, Endoscopic Banding was done 3 years ago as he had Esophagus varices. So I'm just curious how long does this elastic band lasts. And do we need to replace it or it desolves as time goes on.

These elastic bands will be there till the varices shrink and will fall down. No need to replace or redo unless there is another bleeding episode
