A surgeon to remember: notes about Vladimir Demikhov

H B Shumacker Jr. Ann Thorac Surg. 1994 Oct.

Abstract

Vladimir Demikhov, first to transplant an auxiliary heart into the chest of a warm-blooded animal, first to replace the heart with a homograft, first to carry out a pulmonary transplantation, first to perform a complete heart and lung replacement, and first to perform a successful internal mammary-coronary anastomosis, deserves a place among the great experimental surgeons of all times. He has not had the widespread recognition he earned.
