A 76-year-old woman with tarry stools and vomiting of blood was admitted to our hospital. She has been followed as a patient with Osler-Weber-Rendu disease in our clinic for five years. She had previously been treated with endoscopic hemostasis (high-frequency soft coagulation and argon plasma coagulation) and blood transfusion therapy multiple times for oozing bleeding of gastric angioectasia. At the current admission, endoscopic band ligation (EBL) was performed with the expectations that gastric telangiectasia would disappear due to ulcer scar formation and the treatment time would be shortened. Recurrent gastric telangiectasia disappeared in the area where ulcer scar formation by EBL was obtained. An endoscopic band ligating device was useful for hemostasis of Osler-Weber-Rendu disease in the stomach.
