Carrel did fundamental research in many branches of experimental surgery. Starting with perfectioning vessel anastomoses in 1902, he began with the transplantation of organs as early as in the first decade of this century. Vessel bank, patch-technique, extracorporeal circulation and the artificial heart have their scientific basis in Carrel's investigations. Carrel was not only an outstanding but a visionary surgeon, far ahead of his time, now almost forgotten.
卡雷尔在实验外科的许多分支领域都进行了基础研究。他从1902年完善血管吻合术开始，早在本世纪的第一个十年就开始了器官移植。血管库、补片技术、体外循环和人工心脏都在卡雷尔的研究中有其科学依据。卡雷尔不仅是一位杰出的外科医生，而且是一位有远见的外科医生，远远走在他那个时代的前面，如今几乎被遗忘了。
