... refers to surgical treatment for diseases of the heart and the surrounding great blood vessels. Surgical treatment of the heart was first performed in 1896 by Ludwig Mettler Rehn (1849-1930) of Germany, who successfully operated on a cardiac injury. However, the first attempt to diagnose and operate on heart disease in earnest was in 1939, when Robert Gross (1905- ) of the United States successfully operated on a patent ductus arteriosus. In 1945, Gross and Clarence Crafoord (1899- ) of Sweden successfully operated on a coarctation of the aorta, and Alfred Blalock (1899-1964) of the United States performed a vascular anastomosis operation to treat tetralogy of Fallot with good results, which led to a sudden increase in interest in cardiac surgery. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Rehn, LM" is listed below.
