Studies that did not use an omental pedicled flap method

First author	Year	MI model in vivo	Coronary artery for MI	Intervention interval after MI	Subjects (n)/group	Bioengineered cardiac tissue	Method utilizing omentum	Mode of tissue delivery
Bourahla et al. [31]	2010	Sheep	LAD (distal) D2	3 weeks	10	Omental cells or skeletal myoblast cells	Isolation and expansion of autologous omental mesothelial cells	Injection into MI area
De Siena et al. [32]	2010	Pig	LAD	45 min	13	Human fat omentum-derived stromal cells	Isolation and expansion of human fat omentum-derived stromal cells	Injection into proximal MI border zone
Dvir et al. [33]	2009	Rat	LAD	1 week	11	Alginate-based cardiac patch containing neonatal cardiac cells and pro-survival and angiogenic factors (stromal cell-derived factor-1, IGF-1, VEGF)	Cardiac patch was vascularized on the omentum	Transplantation onto MI area

D2: second diagonal coronary artery; IGF-1: insulin-like growth factor 1; LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery; MI: myocardial infarction; VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor.
