Inter omental-cerebral vascularization induced by omental graft to the rat brain.
The omentum of 13 rats were removed from the abdomen and placed directly on the brain. 5-14 days later the omentum and the underlying brain were joined by numerous vascular anastomoses in 9 rats. The purpose of this work was to study the use of omentum to establish extracranial vascularization of the brain.
