摘要

Michael DeBakey, pioneer arterial and cardiac surgeon, died this year just short of his 100th birthday. He trained many Australian vascular surgeons and in 1977 was awarded Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Two years ago he underwent repair of his thoracic aorta (an operation he had devised half a century earlier) at Houston's renowned Methodist Hospital, in the Baylor College of Medicine and University of which he had become Chancellor Emeritus.
