Fig 1 Bleeding gastritis found in patient 1. Telangiectasias and edematous friable gastric mucosa were consistent with radiation injury [12]. The damage appeared in the midportion of the gastric conduit, an area within the radiation portal. The antrum and the anastomosis appeared healthy; thus, conduit stasis and hypoperfusion were less likely.
