When the stormy week ended, Frondizi had the backing of big business, the neutrality of a large section of the military, a truce with most of his political opponents. For the first time in weeks, he pulled a beret on his head and took a half-hour stroll on downtown streets. "It may be merely another trick," moaned a coup-bent general-from his hiding place...

Gradually, with improved techniques and materials, he inched closer to the heart. By 1956, with specially knit synthetic tubing (better for many cases than artery-bank material), and an oxygenator fitted to an updated model of his 1932 pump, Dr. DeBakey...
