The past decade has seen a remarkable world-wide development in the field of thoracic surgery. Following the lead of surgeons in the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden, and the original pioneering contributions made by our own Canadian surgeons, namely Doctor Edward Archibald, Dr. William Mustard and Doctor W.G. Bigelow, rapid strides are being made not only in the scope of thoracic surgery, generally, but, more specifically, in the advancement of cardiac surgery. The measure of success achieved by efforts to correct congenital cardiac anomalies by indirect surgical procedures has served to encourage world-wide research in developing techniques by which cardiac defects may be corrected by direct methods under direct vision.
