Reconstruction after esophagectomy may represent a serious problem when a previous gastric resection has been performed. The colon is frequently usedbut the marginal artery is of insufficient caliber to maintain the viability of a transposed colon. Three‑dimensional computed tomography(3D -CTprovides abundant information about a patients anatomy without requiring an arterial puncture. We present a case in which 3D-CT was used. A 68‑year‑old man who had previously undergone a gastrectomy was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.3D-CT showed that the left colic artery was straight and long and had a solitary branch from the inferior mesenteric artery. The vascular pedicle of the left colon was found during the operation to be in accord with the 3D-CT evaluation. The patient underwent a transthoracic esophagectomyfollowed by reconstruction using left colon interposition. No anastomotic leakage or necrosis of the reconstructive colon occurred.(Kitakanto Med J 2012;62: 143~146)
