Life expectancy, according to the American Heart Association, is the average number of years a person with a diagnosis of esophageal varices should expect to live after surgery. The varices are clogged blood vessels that develop in the esophagus, which are the part of the digestive tract that is outside the body.
The good news is that your chance of a long life after surgery with esophageal varices is pretty good. According to the Heart Association, your risk of dying from the surgery alone is only 2.7 percent, but the heart disease that follows is the same — heart attacks, heart failure, and kidney disease.
The bad news is that the varices are also a risk factor for a heart attack, and the heart attack is the leading cause of death for people with this problem.
The heart is made up of a lot of different parts. It is the largest of the body’s organs, so it is the most important. Without a healthy heart, the brain can’t work properly. It can also pump blood, which is important in the digestive tract and other organs.
The problem is that heart disease can kill you. It can kill you, and it can fail you. As long as you have enough good blood in your body to pump out enough blood, you will make it through life. However, that blood is a little thin, and it will break down and become weak. You can do everything right, and your blood will break down and you will die.
One study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that only about 3% of people who have esophageal varices die of their condition. The problem is they don’t know about the other 97% who don’t die because the varices become too weak to do the job. The good news is that a variety of treatments can help, but the important thing is that it should not be a fatal condition.
The varices in a person with esophageal varices are called a portal vein, after the vein that connects the esophagus to the rest of the body. So you can get the varices from any other vein, but the varices in a person with esophageal varices are very, very difficult to get rid of. In fact, the varices in a person with esophageal varices can cause the varices to become extremely resistant to treatment.
The varices in a person with esophageal varices are very, very difficult to help them go away. I am a gastroenterologist with the Houston VA Medical Center. I would recommend having a physician who specializes in portal vein problems review your case to make sure you are in fact having esophageal varices.
Fortunately, most cases are not that serious. However, I would like to know if there are any other complications that could cause your varices to become extremely resistant to treatment.
The varices are not always able to be removed surgically. In some cases, it may be more complicated to have the surgery done, and you will need to have blood tests done to check the esophageal wall to make sure that it’s normal and that you have the varices. A complication that could cause the varices to be more resistant to treatment is an acute variceal hemorrhage, or bleeding from the esophageal wall.
