Research Abstract

We investigated whether or not omentopexy combined with erythropoietin (EP) subcutaneous administration improved left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in a coronary occlusion and reperfusion model. There were not significant different among each groups in weight and diameter of LV, and this suggested that omentopexy with EP administration did not improve LV function.
