Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of 3D imaging using MDCT in the preoperative assessment of the vascular anatomy around the stomach before laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Thirty-six consecutive patients scheduled for laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy were evaluated on MDCT. CT was performed at the arterial phase after a bolus IV injection of contrast material. Three-dimensional CT angiography (3D CTA) of the arterial and venous systems was reconstructed separately using a volume-rendering algorithm, and the images were fused. Three-dimensional CTA for the left gastric, right gastric, and replaced left hepatic arteries and the left gastric coronary vein was evaluated prospectively by three reviewers, and then a surgical correlation was made.
