Propranolol was more effective than lanreotide SR in reducing baseline HVPG (-21.9 vs. -13.6%, P=0.04) and meal-stimulated HVPG (-16.6 vs. -3.8%, P=0.04).
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Patients were randomized to receive either lanreotide SR intramuscularly (30 mg once weekly, n=12) or propranolol (n=12) orally.
Hemodynamic measurements were performed on day 0 and on day 21 after a 3-week period of drug administration, while patients received three standard oral liquid test meals.
