Request PDF | Oesophagogastric variceal bleeding in portal hypertension | This article reviews substantial progress made in the past decade in the management of patients with portal hypertension. Besides esophageal varices, portal hypertension may cause ascites, which is a fluid build-up in the abdomen. Since toxins and some minerals aren't removed properly, other complications develop from the buildup of substances and from changes in pressure gradients, such as the shift of plasma from the bloodstream to surrounding tissues.
The main goal of treatment is to prevent esophageal varices from rupturing and bleeding. Controlling portal hypertension. Controlling portal hypertension is usually the first step in lowering the risk of bleeding. This may be achieved through the use of the following treatments and medications. Patients with a known diagnosis of esophageal varices have a 30% chance of variceal bleeding within the first year after the diagnosis. [] The mortality rate of .
A rise in portal pressure (portal hypertension) occurs when there is resistance to outflow from the portal vein. Varices develop in order to decompress the hypertensive portal vein and return blood to the systemic circulation. The formation and progression of varices are discussed separately. Esophageal varices result from collateral portal blood flow through vessels in the stomach and esophagus (a process called portacaval anastomosis). When these blood vessels become enlarged, they are called varices and are more likely to rupture. Variceal rupture often leads to severe bleeding, which can prove fatal.

Esophageal varices bleeding is one of very serious and life threatening complications of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
Varicose bleeding is the main cause of death in such patients. Esophageal varices often rebleed and the risk of dying within 6 weeks of an initial bleed is 20% to 30% in patients with cirrhosis-related portal hypertension.

Introduction. Esophageal varices are the major complication of portal hypertension. It is detected in about 50% of cirrhosis patients, and approximately 5–15% of cirrhosis patients show newly formed varices or worsening of varices each year [1–5].It is a hemodynamic abnormality characterized by sudden bleeding episode; about a third of all patients with esophageal varices show bleeding Cited by: Normal Portal Circulation.
In normal circumstances, the portal venous system exists to drain blood from the lower esophagus, stomach, intestines, spleen, and pancreas.
The portal vein is formed by the junction of the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric artery, both of which are made up of tributaries that drain the majority of the digestive system. Thrombosis (blood clot) in the portal vein or the splenic vein, which connects to the portal vein, can cause esophageal varices.
Two rare conditions that can cause esophageal varices are Budd-Chiari syndrome (blockage of certain veins in the liver) and infection with the parasite schistosomiasis. Note: All of these lead to the development of esophageal varices as a result of portal hypertension.
Other Considerations. Table: Considerations in the Diagnosis, Prevention, and Management of Esophageal Varices and Variceal Hemorrhage.
Portal hypertension is present when pressure in the portal venous system pressure exceeds 10 mmHg. Variceal bleeding only occurs when pressure rises above 12 mmHg. The elevated pressure causes pathophysiologic changes resulting in development of collateral pathways around the obstruction, splanchnic bed and eventually systemic hyperdynamic circulation.
Esophageal Varices () Definition (NCI) Abnormally dilated vein(s) of the esophagus. Definition (CSP) longitudinal venous varices at the lower end of the esophagus as a result of portal hypertension; they are superficial and liable to ulceration and massive bleeding.
This book had its beginnings in with a collection of 50 cases of ruptured varices proved at autopsy. The main author began an inquiry into the clinical and pathological features of portal varices and the natural history of patients with bleeding varices.

Portal hypertension leads to an increase in the blood pressure inside the veins in the lower esophagus and stomach. These veins were not designed for the higher pressure, and thus they begin to expand, resulting in varices.
