Gastric varices are dilated portosystemic collateral blood vessels that develop as a complication of portal hypertension or extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. Based on the location and relation to the esophagus, gastric varices are further classified into gastroesophageal varices isolated gastric varices.

Esophageal varices are abnormal, enlarged veins in the tube that connects the throat and stomach (esophagus).
When esophageal varices are discovered, they are graded according to their size, as follows: Grade 1 – Small, straight esophageal varices. Grade 2 – Enlarged, tortuous esophageal varices occupying less than one third of the lumen. Grade 3 – Large, coil-shaped esophageal varices occupying more than one third of the ...
Once varices develop, they can remain stable, increase in size (if the liver disease worsens), or decrease in size (if the liver disease improves). Esophageal varices are a potentially serious complication of cirrhosis.

Portal hypertension is a term used to describe elevated pressures in the portal venous system (a major vein that leads to the liver). Portal hypertension may be caused by intrinsic liver disease, obstruction, or structural changes that result in increased portal venous flow or increased hepatic resistance.

Gastric varices are dilated submucosal veins in the stomach, which can be a life-threatening cause of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract. They are most commonly found in patients with portal hypertension, or elevated pressure in the portal vein system, which may be a complication of cirrhosis. Gastric varices may also be found in patients with thrombosis of the splenic vein, into which the short gastric veins which drain the fundus of the stomach flow. The latter may be a complication of acute pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or other abdominal tumours, as well as hepatitis C.
