Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Up to date, standard of care of GAVE is endoscopic treatment with argon plasma coagulation (APC) or endoscopic band ligation (EBL). Despite good technical efficacy of these techniques, approximately two third of patients remain dependent on blood transfusions after therapy. One of the emerging and more promising endoscopic treatments for GAVE is radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with focal catheters (e.g. HALO90 and HALOULTRA).
