About the Author: Sir Magdi Habib Yacoub (born 16 November 1935) is an Egyptian-British professor and eminent cardiac surgeon. She was born in Belbeis, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, to a Coptic Orthodox family, and her origins are from Minya. He studied medicine at Cairo University, educated in Chicago, then moved to Britain in 1962 to work at Chest Hospital in London, then became a specialist in heart and lung surgery at Harfield Hospital (from 1969 to 2001), and director of the Department of Scientific Research and Education (since 1992). He was appointed professor at the National Heart and Lung Institute in 1986, and has been developing heart transplant techniques since 1967. In 1980 he performed a heart transplant on Drake Morris, who became the longest-lived European heart transplant patient until his death in July 2005. Among the The celebrity who underwent his operations was the British comedian Eric Morecambe, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1966, and he is called in the British media the title of “King of Hearts”. In 2001, at the age of 65, he retired from surgery and continued as a consultant and theorist for organ transplants. In 2006, Dr. Magdi Yacoub cut his retirement from operations to lead a complex operation that required the removal of a transplanted heart in a patient after her natural heart was healed, as the normal heart of the sick child was still removed during the previous transplant, which was carried out by Sir Magdi Yacoub. He received the fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, and received titles and decorations from the largest universities around the world, such as: Brunel University, Cardiff University, Loughborough University, Middlesex University (British universities), as well as from Lund University in Sweden. He has honorary chairs at the University of Lahore, Pakistan, and the University of Siena, Italy.
Cardiac Valve Allografts 1962–1987: Current Concepts on the Use of Aortic and Pulmonary Allografts for Heart Valve Subsitutes book pdf download By Magdi Yacoub
It was the genius of Gordon Murray in Toronto that introduced the use of allografts into cardiac surgery in the 1950s. Soon after this on opposite sides ofthe world, Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes in Auckland, New Zealand, and Mr. Donald Ross in London, undertook to use allografts for the replacement of diseased aortic valves. Since that time the global interest in allografts has been patchy, episodic, and without a con sensus. Nonetheless, for the last 20 years at least three groups in the world have steadfastly pursued the development of new and relevant information concerning the use of allograft valves in humans. These are the centres of Sir Brian Barratt Boyes, Mr. Donald Ross, and Mark O’Brien in Brisbane. More recently, talented investigators, including Drs. Yankah, Yacoub, and others, have been developing information concerning the immunological aspects of the use of allografts, as well as their clinical use. No doubt, at present, cardiac valve allografts of one sort or another are the devices of choice for conduits and have an important place in the surgery of aortic valve replacement. Even so, in the mind of this writer at least, the future usefulness of allografts for the replacement of diseased cardiac valves and conduits between a ventricle and the pulmonary artery, remains problematic, and depends upon improvements in other devices for this purpose and upon improve ments that may be made in preparing and using allografts.
