Gastroscopic images show (a) a tissue bridge in between two pyloric channels that were communicating with the duodenal bulb; (b & c) the adult-sized gastroscope easily passing through each pyloric lumen; and (d) pangastritis in the stomach and multiple Forrest III ulcers in D1. The lumen located posteriorly (in 1c) was deformed and smaller, suggesting that it was the false lumen.
