Abstract

Transposition of lengthened omentum to the brain surface, transplantation of an omental graft, or superficial temporal artery--middle cerebral artery anastomosis were performed in dogs prior to transcranial occlusion of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery at its origin, including the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery. Both omentum and by-pass were able to reduce the changes in cerebral blood flow, somatosensory evoked responses, cerebral water and electrolyte content, consequent to the ischaemic insult. In the experimental conditions adopted in this study, the effect of omental transposition in maintaining high levels of flow throughout the entire occluded hemisphere was more marked compared to that resulting from the other methods, while the onset of ischaemic cerebral oedema was affected approximately at the same degree by all procedures. The results point to the role of the transposed omentum in providing an effective collateral circulation to the ischaemic brain.
