Abstract

Coronary bypass operation is one of the greatest achievements of medical science in the 20th century. Alexis Carrel in 1910 and Arthur Vineberg in 1945 tried to perform surgical revascularization of the diseased coronary arteries. In the beginning of the 1950s many surgeons attempted experimentally to anastomose internal thoracic artery to the coronary arteries. Success was achieved simultaneously and independently by Vladimir Demikhov in Russia and Gordon Murray in Canada. Then the real success come of mammary-coronary bypass with tantalum ring by Robert H Goetz and with suture technique by Vasilii I Kolesov. Then autogenous great saphenous vein used by Rene G Favaloro and others and made the procedure popular worldwide. Which contribution is greater, when medicine depends on evolution and big accomplishment reached by means of the contribution of many. There comes the interesting question who should be given the credit of introducing this major surgical procedure, and along comes the ethical issue whether any single individual should be ascertained the fatherhood of CABG or any historic event at all!

冠状动脉搭桥术的伟大先驱:有必要确定冠状动脉搭桥术之父吗?

冠状动脉搭桥手术是20世纪最伟大的医学成就之一。1910年的亚历克西斯·卡雷尔和1945年的阿瑟·维因伯格试图对患病的冠状动脉进行手术重建术。在20世纪50年代初，许多外科医生尝试实验性地将胸内动脉与冠状动脉吻合。俄罗斯的弗拉基米尔·德米霍夫和加拿大的戈登·默里同时独立取得了成功。然后是Robert H Goetz的钽环乳房冠状动脉搭桥术和Vasilii I Kolesov的缝合术。随后，Rene G Favaloro等人使用自体大隐静脉，使手术在世界范围内流行起来。当医学依赖于进化和通过许多人的贡献而取得的巨大成就时，哪个贡献更大?有一个有趣的问题，谁应该被认为是引入这一重大外科手术的人，随之而来的是道德问题，是否应该确定任何一个人是CABG或任何历史事件的父亲!心血管病[j] 2023;15 (2): 185 - 188
