For centuries, the heart was believed to be an inoperable organ. Through the development of new technologies and techniques, the initial difficulties inherent with operating on a moving organ began to fade. But as surgeons in the last century pushed the boundaries of cardiac repair, new problems arose. To solve them, they enlisted the help of physiologists, residents and engineers. By taking a multidisciplinary approach, sharing information and ideas, and working collaboratively, University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic investigators found themselves at the forefront of cardiac surgery. This article reviews Minnesota's contributions to the field.
几个世纪以来，心脏一直被认为是一个无法进行手术的器官。随着新技术和新技巧的发展，对一个运动器官进行手术所固有的最初困难开始逐渐消失。但在上个世纪，当外科医生们拓展心脏修复的边界时，新的问题出现了。为了解决这些问题，他们寻求生理学家、住院医生和工程师的帮助。通过采取多学科方法、分享信息和想法以及开展合作，明尼苏达大学和梅奥诊所的研究人员发现自己处于心脏外科手术的前沿。本文回顾了明尼苏达大学在该领域所做出的贡献。
