History of cardiology
Episode 6 – Dr William Thornton Mustard
Dr. William Mustard was a Canadian pioneer in cardiac surgery. In the 1950s, he proposed a revolutionary idea: performing heart surgery without stopping blood circulation, using a machine and monkey lungs to oxygenate blood outside the body. Although the early results were tragic, his innovation paved the way for major advances in modern cardiac surgery.
