Core Tip	Complete esophageal obstruction and necrosis is a rare complication of esophageal variceal banding. Patients typically present with dysphagia and inability to tolerate secretions shortly after banding. Diagnosis is made with a barium esophagram or upper endoscopy. Treatment consists of supportive care and total parental nutrition until recovery or removing the band endoscopically. Most patients recover but may require esophageal dilation afterwards.
