Explanation:
Watch out! Paracardial means also 'near the CARDIA'. And the cardia is (Webster):

car.dia

: the opening of the esophagus into the stomach; also: the part of the stomach adjoining this opening

En español se llama "CARDIAS.

"el CARDIAS es una válvula que comunica al esófago con el estómago".

www.geocities.com/taquigra/estres.htm

----------------------------
5) Orificio cardial

El CARDIAS es el límite entre el esófago y el estómago. No es una línea sino una franja de 10 a 15 mm. en la que se produce la transición entre el epitelio pavimentoso del esófago y el cilíndrico del estómago.
