Gross, R.

Japanese: Gross,R.(英語表記)GrossR
Gross, R.

... 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.
