Congenital heart disease: a surgical-historical perspective.
Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2005 June
Pediatric cardiac surgery began with Dr Gross's first successful ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus on August 8, 1938, at the Children's Hospital in Boston. The beginnings of open-heart surgery for repair of congenital malformations, aside from Gibbon's first successful closure in Philadelphia of an atrial septal defect using an artificial heart-lung machine, can be traced to members of the Department of Surgery at the University of Minnesota during the fifties and sixties of the 20th century. This story will be told, and other advances will be discussed, some of which also carry the imprint of the Minnesota surgical training program, with its heavy emphasis on research.
