Summary
Gastric variceal bleeding has a very high rebleeding rate even after endoscopic variceal
injection of cyanoacrylate (GVO) which is considered the first choice of endoscopic
treatment. Beta-blocker (BB) is effective to lower portal pressure. We hypothesized
combination of GVO and BB can further decrease the rebleeding rate.
