Uniterminal and biterminal venous transplantations.

Publication Details

Surg. Gynec. Obstet., 2, 266-286. 1906 CE.

"The possibility of transforming a vein into an artery, from a functional point of view, naturally arouses the idea of substituting veins for arteries when the latter are rendered useless by some pathological processes." This paper anticipated the use of vein grafts to restore circulation in damaged arteries to the heart, the so-called coronary artery bypass graft.
