Are esophagogastric fundic varices serious?

Esophago-gastric varices are a serious disease because esophageal varices are a serious complication of cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a more serious disease and is very difficult to cure. When esophageal varices occur in cirrhosis, the esophageal vessels are very large, thin and prone to rupture, and when rupture occurs esophageal blood will flow out from the rupture like a waterfall, and the bleeding is large and very rapid. When bleeding occurs, it is relatively difficult to stop the bleeding, and the patient needs to stop the bleeding under gastroscopy in an emergency, which is a challenge for both doctors and patients because of the tight schedule and critical condition. If gastroscopy is not done immediately to stop the bleeding, the patient will suffer from hemorrhagic shock and die in a short time. Therefore, esophago-gastric varices are a serious disease and a complication of cirrhosis. When ruptured esophageal varices bleed, they can cause death of the patient in a short time because there is severe and rapid massive bleeding.
