Abstract
The authors report a case of left gastric (coronary) vein that terminated on the anterior aspect of the portal vein 3.0 cm above the upper border of the duodenum after running anterolaterally. Preoperative arteriography helped to localize the vein, and allowed a safe portacaval shunt to be performed. The radiologic and surgical significance of this anomaly is discussed.Mesh:
