Core Tip	Acute gastric variceal hemorrage is associated with a high mortality rate which accounts for one third of the patients. Histoacryl injection has been reported as one of the effective procedures for treating this condition. The present study investigated patients presenting with acute gastric variceal hemorrage and found that Histoacryl injection was a safe and highly effective hemostatic method for treating gastric variceal hemorrhage with 97.8% initial hemostasis; only a 10% early re-bleeding rate and a 14.4% procedure-related complication rate were found. The risk factors for re-bleeding were compromised liver status and presence of ascites.
