Abstract
We describe a successful reconstruction of the esophagus with the isoperistaltic right colon and terminal ileum, which had very poor continuity of the marginal artery. The stomach and the left colon were not available because of corrosive injury and intraabdominal adhesions. The blood supply of the ischemic transplant was augmented by anastomosis of the internal mammary vessels to the iliocolic vessels.
