Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) showing vessels around the stomach. The arrow indicates the left gastric artery (LGA), the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) anastomosed to the right hepatic artery in the right lobe of the liver graft (HA of graft). We only found small branches divided from the splenic artery (SpA) due to the history of splenectomy.

In addition, the right gastroepiploic artery was anastomosed to the right hepatic artery of the transplanted liver as feeding vessels (Fig. 1).
ICG (3 mL) was administered intravenously at a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography showed abundant intramural blood flow of the remnant stomach in about 20 s.
