Primary Prophylaxis of Gastric Varix Bleed
May 20, 2009 updated by: Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Cyanoacrylate Injection Versus Beta-Blockers Versus No Treatment for Primary Prophylaxis of Gastric Variceal Bleed
In patients who have never bled from gastric varix (GOV2 and IGV1), cyanoacrylate injection will be better than both beta-blocker therapy and no treatment in prevention of gastric variceal bleed.
The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial in patients with gastric varix (GOV2 and IGV1) who never bled before, to study the efficacy of treatment with cyanoacrylate injection versus beta-blocker versus no treatment in prevention of first bleed from gastric varices.

Other: Beta-blocker (propranolol)
Beta-blocker (propranolol) was started at a dose of 20 mg twice daily.
The principle of incremental dosing was used to achieve the target heart rate for propranolol.
The dose was increased every alternate day to achieve a target heart rate of 55/min or to the maximal dose to 360 mg/day if the medication was well tolerated and the systolic blood pressure was > 90 mm Hg.
On the occurrence of intolerable adverse effects, systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or pulse rate < 55/min, the dose of the medication was decreased step-wise, and eventually stopped if these adverse events persisted.
Reintroduction of the medication was attempted if cessation of the medication did not result in improvement of the reported side-effect.
