Dr Dwight C. McGoon, a prolific surgeon at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, achieved an amazing feat during the early days of cardiac surgery. In 1965, he reported a series of 100 consecutive aortic valve replacements with no in-hospital mortality. As a pioneer in adult and congenital cardiac surgery, his other contributions included novel uses of left ventricular and biventricular extracardiac conduits and describing repairs for mitral regurgitation resulting from ruptured chordae, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, pulmonary stenosis, and pulmonary atresia. More than 50 years later, Dr McGoon is still remembered for his technical prowess, innovation, mentorship, and humanism.
明尼苏达州罗切斯特市梅奥诊所的多产外科医生德怀特·C·麦古恩（Dwight C. McGoon）在心脏外科学的早期取得了一项惊人的成就。1965 年，他报告了一系列 100 例连续的主动脉瓣置换术，院内死亡率为零。作为成人和先天性心脏外科学的先驱，他的其他贡献包括左心室和双心室心外管道的新颖用途，以及描述因腱索断裂、大动脉转位、共同动脉干、肺动脉瓣狭窄和肺动脉闭锁导致的二尖瓣反流的修复。50 多年后，麦古恩医生仍因其精湛的技术、创新精神、指导和人道主义精神而被铭记。
