esophageal veins
Esophageal veins are small blood vessels that transport deoxygenated blood from the esophagus, the tube that connects the throat to the stomach, back to the heart. These veins are significant in the context of portal hypertension, where they can dilate and cause a condition known as esophageal varices, which can potentially lead to life-threatening complications.
