Remnant omental transfer for the mediastinitis after coronary bypass surgery with right gastroepiploic artery Hitoshi Yokoyama, MD, PhD, Mitsuaki Sadahiro, MD, Atsusi Iguchi, MD, Mikio Ohmi, MD, Koichi Tabayashi, MD, Shigeo Tanaka, MD, PhD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 68, Issue 1, Pages 269-271 (July 1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00490-7
Fig 1 (A) Omento-colonolysis. The arrow indicates the detachment line, which can be dissected by cautery. This procedure allows the omentum to be apart from the transverse colon, leaving the omentum merely attached to the stomach and enhancing omental transfer to the mediastinum. (B) Omental blood supply after harvesting the right gastroepiploic artery. The arrow indicates an example of the incision line that allows further omental extension, preserving the omental artery arch based on the “left” gastroepiploic artery.
