A patient with ulcerated gastric cancer causing mild anaemia and simultaneous three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent "off pump" coronary artery bypass grafting (OP-CABG) and total D2 gastrectomy.

A case of recurrent intraluminal bleeding from an ulcerated gastric diverticulum is described. Difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition are discussed. The importance of accurate preoperative diagnosis by endoscopy and barium meal is emphasized.

Background. Endoscopic resection (ER) for early gastric cancer (EGC) is a minimally invasive and curative treatment. The value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in determining the therapeutic strategy for EGC was assessed in this study. Materials and Methods. Pretreatment EUS was performed on 406 EGCs. The lesions were divided into the histological categories m/sm1 and sm2. The EUS-determined...
