As a result of this study, an approximately 30% reduction in blood flow of the adventitia was confirmed according to the procedure of paraesophageal devascularization. When performing a further procedure of esophageal transection, total blood flow was reduced to 50%. It is logical to conclude that the marked decrease in blood flow in the wall of the esophagus offers a great opportunity for the development of postoperative anastomosis insufficiency. It is of interest to note that the incidence of postoperative complications in the performance of this operation for esophageal varices has become significant on the basis of blood flow changes in the wall of the esophagus., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1983, 28(1-4), p.136-141}, pages = {136--141}, title = {Changes in Esophageal Blood Flow by Esophageal Transection with Devascularization}, volume = {28}, year = {1983} }
