The result of the above phenomenon is that the blood needs to be searched for other paths through smaller veins, such as the veins at the lower part of the esophagus, the veins with thin walls are under high pressure, so the aneurysms are exposed, so that the aneurysm is exposed, so the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysms are exposed, so the aneurysm is expanded, the aneurysms are exposed, the aneurysms are expanded, the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysms are expanded, the aneurysms are expanded, the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysms are exposed, the aneurysms are expanded, the aneurysm is exposed, the aneurysms are exposed, the aneurysis Sometimes breaking and bleeding.

    Treatment of esophageal veins like?

    To treat esophageal varicose veins, the treatment of low voltage in the portal vein can reduce the risk of bleeding due to esophageal varicose veins.

  • The second is applied to these. Patients with esophageal varicose veins are at high risk of bleeding, the doctor may suggest spandex tie. Through laparoscopic and wrapping the esophagus tufts of rubber elastic, this method will tie blood vessels to prevent bleeding but the esophagus venous elastic has a small percentage of complications such as causing scars in esophagus.
  • Use a spandex to tie with bleeding veins. Soi to slow down the flow of blood from the internal organs to the portal vein. 
  • The method of switching blood flow from the portal vein is the manual manipulation in the liver through the carotid veins (tips) when all other treatments have failed or may be considered as this as A temporary measure if you are waiting for a liver transplant.
