On this day in 1954, Lillehei and his team performed his first open heart operation, a repair of a VSD using crosscirculation in a 15-month-old boy. An adult (usually a parent) with the same blood type was used more or less as the heart-lung machine.

On this day in 1898, Helen Taussig was born. She was an American cardiologist who founded the field of pediatric cardiology. Notably, she is credited with developing the concept for a procedure that would extend the lives of children born with Tetralogy of Fallot.

On this day in 1991, Lillehei received the "Outstanding Achievement Award" from Univ of Minnesota as recognition of professional achievements. He was world-renowned as the "Father of Open-Heart Surgery", and was part of the world's first successful open-heart operation in 1952

He perdido ya la cuenta de cuántas veces me han llamado de hospitalización o de urgencias porque hay un paciente con COVID con la oxigenación terriblemente mala y que no quiere que lo intuben. Tú llegaste tan mal que el médico subió a la UCI a buscarme.

The biggest threat to CABG is not stents, industry or the size of the incision and length of hospitalization and recovery. It is the substandard training and the fake case numbers that most programs offer these days leading to recent grads who can’t do the operation safely.

On this day in 1966, DeBakey performed the first successful placement of a left ventricular assist device on a patient with a history of severe aortic insufficiency and mitral stenosis. The patient was ultimately discharged from the hospital and resumed normal activities.
