A surgeon to remember: notes about Vladimir Demikhov

HB Shumacker Jr
Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland.

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.
