Summary
Whether beta-blockers or banding is the best therapy for primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding is subject to debate. A randomized comparison between the two treatments was performed in candidates for liver transplantation. Patients with Child B and C cirrhosis with high risk varices and no previous variceal bleeding are randomized to propranolol or variceal bleeding. Primary end point is variceal bleeding
