Fig 1 Anastomosis of the left gastric artery (thin arrow) and superior mesenteric artery (thick arrow). The left gastric artery was obliquely cut off to make the lumen diameter larger, the distal segment of the left gastric artery was ligated, and the proximal segment of the left gastric artery was pulled down from the posterior splenic artery and anastomosed with the superior mesenteric artery in an end-to-end manner.

Fig 3 Computed tomography (CT) angiography 4 months after surgery (another angle). The reconstructed arteries were unobstructed. Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques 2019 5, 4-6DOI: (10.1016/j.jvscit.2018.02.008) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions
Fig 4 Doppler B-mode ultrasound examination of the reconstructed arteries 4 months after surgery. The blood flow velocity of the reconstructed superior mesenteric artery was 75.9 cm/s and the resistance index was 0.64.
