2 Fig 1 Bleeding gastritis found in patient 1. Telangiectasias and edematous friable gastric mucosa were consistent with radiation injury [12]. The damage appeared in the midportion of the gastric conduit, an area within the radiation portal. The antrum and the anastomosis appeared healthy; thus, conduit stasis and hypoperfusion were less likely.

3 Fig 2 Endoscopic view of the gastric conduit after 2 weeks of hyperbaric therapy in patient 1. Telangiectasias, friability, and active bleeding have resolved. Edema is still present.
