From “Spongy” and “Cold” Hearts to Cellular Cardiomyoplasty: Tales of Canadian Contribution to Global Cardiac Surgery

Abstract: Despite the small size of its population and the number of its cardiac surgeons, Canadians have participated actively in the birth and development of cardiac surgery during the past half century, with pioneers such as Arthur Vineberg and Wilfred Bigelow leading the way. New and innovative cardiac surgical techniques and their scientific bases were developed and shared globally over the years. Canadian surgeons continue to be productive and are contributing to advances in this field at the dawn of the twenty-fi… Show more

“…An insight into some of the contributions of Canadian surgical scientists can be gained by reading the reports of Warnock et al. regarding the islet cell transplantation program [8], Laberge and Flageole about innovative approaches to treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernias [9], and Chiu about the Canadian contribution to cardiac surgery research [10]. Each of these reports describes a journey of discovery, taking a clinical problem to the laboratory and applying the findings to surgical patients.…”
