Function anatomy of vascular stem of the transposed stomach.

ABSTRACT

In morphological study on the dead bodies the authors have followed with coloured injections of stomach arteries of pyloroanthral region under "physiological" pressure the vascular supply of mobilized stomach applied for the substitution of chest gullet. They found that the right gastroepiploic artery is much more important compared with right gastric artery, and further, that the gastric tube formed from the great curvature is much better supplied than the whole stomach. These conclusions correspond with clinical experiences with esophagogastroplastics.
