Background The liver produces various angiogenic and cytoprotective growth factors and the omentum has potent angiogenic properties that promote wound healing. The ability of hepatic tissue implantation plus omental wrapping to induce angiogenesis and restore cardiac function was investigated in a rat model of infarction.Methods and Results Myocardial infarction was induced in rats using coronary artery ligation. The omentum was wrapped (omentopexy group), hepatic tissue implantation was combined with omental wrapping (hepatic tissue implantation (H) group) or no other treatment was applied (control (C) group), and then ventricular function was evaluated by echocardiography 4 weeks later. Infarct size, ventricular remodeling, vascular density and collagen density were morphometrically and histologically evaluated. The expression of angiogenic growth factors in implanted tissues was examined using RT-PCR. The H group had thicker (p
