Yustin Y. Djanelidze and the first successful repair of an injured ascending aorta.
Yustin Y. Djanelidze is one of the little-known pioneers of cardiac surgery in the 20th century. He successfully sutured a penetrating injury of the ascending aorta in St. Petersburg, Russia, on 27 October 1913. To the best of our knowledge, this was the 1st case of ascending aorta repair described in the world medical literature.
