Abstract:
A 69-year-old man, who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastroepiploic artery 2 years previously, was hospitalized with acute epigastralgia. Gastroscopy showed an early gastric cancer in the greater curvature of the corpus and ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed acute cholecystitis due to a stone impacted in the cystic duct. The subtotal gastrectomy and the cholecystectomy with preservation of the right gastroepiploic artery graft were performed. The surgical margin of the resected specimen was negative for cancer. The postoperative course was uneventful. After coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastroepiploic artery, annual gastroscopy is recommended.
