Background: The recurrent variceal bleeding is still very high with a very poor prognosis. The combination of a non-selective beta-blocker and endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is still a standard therapy for the prevention, but many patients showed no response to propranolol. Carvedilol is a new, non-selective beta-blocker having intrinsic alpha-blocker activity, but the data about the efficacy and safety of carvedilol is still very limited. This study is aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of carvedilol combined with EVL in the prevention of recurrent variceal bleeding. Patients and methods: 33 patients having variceal bleeding were enrolled. All patients received carvedilol and were performed the EVL until variceal eradication. All the patients were followed after 9 months. Results: rate of variceal eradication of oesophageal varices was 87.88%; the recurrence rate of variceal bleeding was 12.12% after 9 months. The side effects of carvedilol were rare and not severe, including vertiges, headache, and orthostatic hypertension. Conclusion: Carvedilol combined with EVL appeared as a relatively safe and effective in the prevention of recurrent variceal bleeding in patients of cirrhosis. Key words: carvedilol, variceal bleeding, EVL
