Abstract:
A 66-year-old man with early gastric cancer and liver cirrhosis was diagnosed by preoperative angiography as having an aberrant left gastric vein communicating directly with the left lateral portal vein system. This communication was confirmed during operation for the gastric cancer. Our report is the first of an aberrant left gastric vein showing direct communication with the left portal vein system.
