Abstract

Omental transposition to the brain, using either an intact omental pedicle (1,2) or a free piece of omentum (3,4) has been reported as an effective procedure in the revascularization of the ischaemic brain in humans (5,6,7,8,9). In order to evaluate the haemodynamic effects of this operation, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured preoperatively and postoperatively over a period of 66 months in a series of patients who underwent transposition of intact omentum following a completed stroke.
