[From vascular surgery to gastrointestinal surgery].
From the basic and clinical study of the peripheral vascular disturbance, my interest has gradually focused on the visceral circulation, following the first experience of an acute bowel gangrene. Thereafter, I have investigated acute mesenteric ischemia and ischemic enterocolitis both clinically and experimentally. Furthermore, I have also noticed on the combined vascular resection for the malignancies of the gastrointestinal organs. Finally, I have discussed on the role of newly introduced vascular intervention for the gastrointestinal disorders. Further development in many fields will surely lead to great possibility in the future.
