Abstract
GARCIA CORNEJO, Marcelo. 50 years of extracorporeal circulation in Mexico. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2007, vol.77, n.4, pp.326-329. ISSN 1665-1731.
In this year, we commemorate half a century of the first open-heart surgery performed in Mexico at the Military Hospital on January 11, 1957. The surgery was performed in a child with interventricular communication by Dr. Raul Baz; in this surgery a De Wall and Lillehei bubble oxygenator was used. The perfusionist was Dr. Marcelo García Cornejo. The present historical review is aimed at covering the advances in cardiology from its beginnings to the present.
