A report is presented on an angiographic study of the gastric arterial system conducted on 20 human stomachs taken from cadavers during routine autopsies. The aim of the study was to define the anatomical bases for the supply of blood to the isoperistaltic gastric tubule in oesophagogastroplasty operations. The study reveals that on its own the right gastroepiploic artery cannot ensure adequate vascularisation of the gastric fundus. The importance of pressuring the right hand section of the vascular arch along the small curve was also noted and is due to the constant presence of major anastomoses at antral level with the right gastroepiploic artery. The study also revealed the constant presence of a direct intramural anastomotic circulation between the right and left gastroepiploic arteries.

Arterial Reconstruction Using the Right Gastroepiploic Artery in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience.
Ann Transplant

Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Nagasaki, Japan.
BACKGROUND Recipient hepatic arteries are generally used for arterial reconstructions in living donor liver transplantation. When the hepatic arteries are not feasible, the right gastroepiploic artery is one of the options for arterial reconstructions. In this study, we evaluate the feasibility of using the right gastroepiploic artery and report the analyzed retrospective patient outcomes.

Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often receive TAVI alone. However, in cases of severe coronary lesions or anticipated difficulty in coronary access post-TAVI, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting may be necessary. We performed simultaneous gastroepiploic artery to posterior descending artery bypass and TAVI in two patients with severe calcification of the right coronary artery ostium which is unsuitable for percutaneous intervention.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a type of bariatric surgery. Gastric stenosis or obstruction is a known complication of LAGB; however, its occurrence after band removal is extremely rare. A 60-year-old female, who had undergone LAGB 6 years earlier and band removal 4 years prior, presented to the hospital with recurrent vomiting.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the clinical outcomes of using the right gastroepiploic artery in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
- A total of 428 patients were analyzed, with the right gastroepiploic artery used in 18.2% of cases, leading to a high rate of successful revascularization (93.6% total, 98.7% complete).
- Postoperative results revealed no in-hospital deaths, a low incidence of new atrial fibrillation (9%), and a manageable median ICU stay of 2 days, indicating favorable outcomes with this surgical approach.
Two Cases of Pylorus-Preserving Pancreatoduodenectomy with Remnant Stomach Preservation in Patients Who Have Undergone Proximal Gastrectomy.

Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy after proximal gastrectomy (PG) presents technical challenges owing to the need to preserve blood flow in the remnant stomach. Considering the oncological factors and preservation of the remnant stomach blood supply, it is crucial to preserve or reconstruct the right gastric artery (RGA) and/or right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA). In cases where the RGEA is preserved, technical considerations for reconstruction arise owing to the poor motility of the remnant stomach.
