Scarring (cirrhosis) of the liver is the most common cause of esophageal varices. This scarring cuts down on blood flowing through the liver. As a result, more blood flows through the veins of the esophagus. The extra blood flow causes the veins in the esophagus to balloon outward.

Why are esophageal varices more common than gastric varices?

Gastric varices are less likely to bleed than esophageal varices because of their subserosal location and the greater thickness of overlying gastric tissue. When gastric variceal bleeding occurs, however, it tends to be more severe than esophageal variceal bleeding and is associated with a higher mortality rate.

What is a varices in medical terms?

Varices are veins that are enlarged or swollen. The esophagus is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach. When enlarged veins occur on the lining of the esophagus, they are called esophageal varices.

Why does esophageal varices occur in cirrhosis?

In people with cirrhosis, varices develop when blood flow through the liver is obstructed (blocked) by scarring, increasing the pressure inside the portal vein, which carries blood from the intestines to the liver; this condition is called portal hypertension.

What causes varices to bleed?

Cause of Bleeding Varices It's often due to scarring of the liver, or cirrhosis. This increased pressure in the portal vein causes blood to be pushed away from the liver to smaller blood vessels, which are not able to handle the increased amount of blood.
