title: Ischemic gastric ulcer after coronary bypass using the right gastroepiploic artery.
abstract: The gastroepiploic artery has been widely used for complete arterial myocardial revascularization of young patients. Gastric complications related to the harvesting of this artery are exceptional. We describe here a case of ischemic gastric ulcer due to the use of a gastroepiploic artery in a patient with severe celiac trunk disease. The patient was cured by angioplasty completed by a stenting procedure.
