Esophageal and Gastric Varices
Carvedilol as an Adjunct to Endoscopic Cyanoacrylate Injection for Secondary Prophylaxis of Gastric Variceal Bleeding
Gastric variceal obturation is the current endoscopic therapy of choice for gastric variceal bleeding but is associated with a high rebleeding rate. Carvedilol is a potent non-selective β-blocker.
