The data of the literature on the mechanisms of restructuring of vascular bed in response to hemodynamic changes due to portal hypertension. Despite the fact that these changes are compensatory-adaptive reaction to the deteriorating conditions of blood circulation, they contribute to its progression, promoting the development of serious complications, one of which was bleeding from esophageal varices.
