Abstract
Research in our institution identified the first case in which cardiopulmonary bypass was utilized. By happenstance, it turned out to be the presumed first repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect. The circumstances of this interesting case are presented and discussed in the context of our surgical heritage.
