[A case of metastatic carcinoma of the colon after curative resection for gastric cancer].

We report a rare case of metastatic colon cancer that occurred after gastric cancer surgery. The patient was a 63-year- old man who had received distal gastrectomy for type 2 advanced gastric cancer, which was a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT4a (SE),pN0, P0, CY0, M0, and Stage IIB. He was treated with S-1 for 1 year after the operation.

Emergent treatment of acute embolic superior mesenteric ischemia with combination of thrombolysis and angioplasty: report of two cases.

We successfully revascularized the acutely occluded superior mesenteric artery (SMA), caused by a thromboembolus, with a combination of thrombolysis and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in 2 patients. Considerable percent luminal reduction (>90%) was still observed after thrombolysis in both patients. Subsequent adjunctive balloon angioplasty produced sufficient luminal diameter of the SMA (<20% luminal reduction).
