...health had been declining in recent years, and just before Christmas he went to Houston's Methodist Hospital, where Dr. Michael DeBakey performed extensive cardiovascular surgery. While he was convalescing at his home in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Rose caught a cold, which rapidly developed into fatal lobar pneumonia...
...like DeBakey, Ravdin and Gibbon seem to take on the proportions of demigods [May 28], especially to those of us who are now studying to take a crack at medicine. I recently had the privilege of hearing Dr. DeBakey speak on his work in cardiovascular surgery. The work that he described is nothing short of amazing. In times such as these, when so many advances are being made in surgery, it is difficult to remember that these men are not gods but mortals. This work is not a cure-all for all occlusive artery diseases, but one must admit that...

Dr. Thomas Edman, chairman of the knitting department here at the college, played a significant role in the research and development of the knitted Dacron and Teflon arterial replacements. Dr. Edman is currently working on additional prosthetics that include heart valves and abdominal patches utilizing man-made fibers and knitting technology...

But the problems to be solved before routine use in man are still forbidding. The external heart-lung machine, which Dr. DeBakey has done so much to advance, can tide a patient over for only a few hours, during and after surgery. Dr. DeBakey wants an artificial heart element that can be installed while a patient is still on the operating table and left in place to tide him over the first...
