This historical review highlights early experimental work on vascular bypass that laid the foundation for modern coronary artery bypass grafting.
Recalls early vascular bypass experiments; extends the documented history of coronary artery bypass grafting.
Here DeBakey reviewed some of the various approaches to coronary artery disease, and described his own recent experimental lab work using vascular bypass to relieve occluded coronary arteries. Several years later, in 1964, he would perform his first successful coronary bypass operation.
