Can esophageal vein exposure be cured

Esophageal vein exposure is curable depending on the circumstances.

Esophageal vein exposure is caused by liver diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, and often manifests as dilated venous plexus and varices in the esophagus. If it is caused by inflammation, it can be cured by aggressive treatment. If it is caused by cirrhosis, it is often difficult to cure completely because the cause cannot be removed.

For patients at high risk of bleeding, the doctor may recommend esophageal variceal ligation. During surgery, the doctor places a catheter with a rubber ring on the venous plexus to reduce blood flow and prevent bleeding.
