Along with Dr. Philip Ashmore, Dr. W.G. (Bill) Trapp and Dr. Ross Robertson, he performed the first Open Heart Surgery in British Columbia on 29 October 1957 at Vancouver General Hospital, by closing an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) in 9 year old John Evans, using Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB).〔The Surgical Times, University of British Columbia, Department of Surgery http://www.surgery.ubc.ca/files/times/TimesW07.pdf〕〔Proust Physicians Questionnaire - Dr. Peter Allen http://www.bcmj.org/proust-physicians/proust-questionnaire-peter-allen-md〕 == Background == Allen grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1946, he obtained a MD from the University of Toronto. In 1953, he received a Fellowship in general surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and, in 1964, a Fellowship in thoracic surgery from the same institution. His post graduate training included one year of internal medicine at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands followed by 4 1/2 years at the University of Toronto in the general surgery program at the Hospital for Sick Children and the Toronto General Hospital.〔Dr. William E. Gallie, The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame http://www.cdnmedhall.org/dr-william-e-gallie〕 Returning to Vancouver, between early 1954 to mid-1956, he developed a practice in general surgery. During that period he held a research position at the British Columbia Research Institute under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Evelyn. The project tested the feasibility of replacing a diseased abdominal aorta with a mesh supported vena cava autograft〔 In mid 1956 he began a year of training in Cardiac surgery with C. Walton Lillehei, the originator of Open-heart surgery, at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. In early 1957, he participated in the operation where the world’s first artificial cardiac pacemaker was employed by Lillehei. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Allen (physician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
