Abstract

Whilst general surgery has progressed steadily over a prolonged period, its younger offshoot, cardiac surgery, has made a dramatic breakthrough about once every 5 years1. Each advance has become associated with the names of one or two individuals: treatment of constrictive pericarditis (Churchill, 1933), treatment of the patent ductus arteriosus (Gross, 1938), closed mitral repair (Harken, 1948), the pump oxygenator (Gibbon, 1953), valve prostheses (Hufnagel, 1952; Harken and Starr, 1958), reconstruction of the congenitally malformed heart (Kirklin, 1963), cardiac transplantation (Barnard, 1967), and saphenous vein bypass grafting of coronary arteries (Favoloro, 1970). The principal landmarks in the history of surgical replacement of diseased heart valves are reviewed below.
