    The study evaluated the association between arterial stenosis and anastomotic leakage following left-sided colorectal resection.

  • 2

    A total of 367 patients underwent left-sided colorectal resections, with 37 experiencing anastomotic leakage.

  • 3

    Significant stenosis prevalence ranged from 9.3% to 23.7%, with good interrater agreement in vascular assessments.

  • 4

    Left internal iliac artery stenosis was identified as a significant predictor of anastomotic leakage with an odds ratio of 4.13.

  • 5

    Preoperative arterial assessment via contrast-enhanced CT may enhance risk stratification for patients undergoing surgery.
