Ischemic gastropathy remains as a persistent problem after left gastric artery (LGA) resection in distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis en-bloc resection (DP-CAR). The middle colic artery (MCA) was found to be a useful vessel for compromised collateral flow. However, intraoperative gross evaluation of gastric ischemia is technically difficult even after artery reconstruction.
