Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.In patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a critical complication associated with high short‐term mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in this specific population and identified prognostic factors associated with 6‐week rebleeding and mortality.
