The expelling process of MCAs was monitored by X-ray. A The instant fluoroscopy showed all anastomats coupled well and retained at the right place (upper lateral view; lower anteroposterior view). B At 4th day after RYHJ, EE-MCA and the first BE-MCA were expelled out of the body, and two BE-MCAs remained in situ. C At 8th day after RYHJ, the second BE-MCA was missing, and the third one already dropped in small intestine. D At 9th day after RYHJ, the third BE-MCA was expelled at hepatic flexure of ascending colon. E At 10th day, all anastomats were expelled out of the body
