Correspondence, Herbert E. Warden to Charles A. Hufnagel responding to an inquiry about the pump used during controlled cross circulation
Subject
Open Heart Surgery
Description
Herbert E. Warden (1920-2002), was a Medical Fellow and Clinical Instructor of Surgery at the University of Minnesota from 1951-1960. Warden, along with Morley Cohen, C. Walton Lillehei, and Richard Varco formed the first surgical team to perform a successful controlled cross-circulation operation to repair a congenital heart defect.
Controlled cross circulation was a method of open heart surgery devised by C. Walton Lillehei, Herbert Warden, and Morley Cohen in the research laboratories of the Department of Surgery at the University of Minnesota. During the operation, a donor supported a patient's circulation while the patient's heart was being operated upon. A Sigmamotor pump pumped the blood through polyvinyl tubes connected to the patient and donor.
