Core Tip	Acute variceal hemorrhage (AVH) is a medical emergency with a 20% mortality rate at 6 wk. Percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization (PTVE) is a rescue therapy for endoscopic variceal ligation failure. Here we present a retrospective study to determine the risk factors for 6-wk rebleeding and mortality in AVH patients who have undergone PTVE. Patients with a model for end-stage liver disease score ≥ 18 and a HVPG ≥ 20 mmHg are at increased risk of death within 6 wk of an acute variceal bleeding episode. A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or liver transplantation should be considered for this high-risk group.
