It was the genius of Gordon Murray in Toronto that introduced the
use of allografts into cardiac surgery in the 1950s. Soon after
this on opposite sides ofthe world, Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes in
Auckland, New Zealand, and Mr. Donald Ross in London, undertook to
use allografts for the replacement of diseased aortic valves. Since
that time the global interest in allografts has been patchy,
episodic, and without a con sensus. Nonetheless, for the last 20
years at least three groups in the world have steadfastly pursued
the development of new and relevant information concerning the use
of allograft valves in humans. These are the centres of Sir Brian
Barratt Boyes, Mr. Donald Ross, and Mark O'Brien in Brisbane. More
recently, talented investigators, including Drs. Yankah, Yacoub,
and others, have been developing information concerning the
immunological aspects of the use of allografts, as well as their
clinical use. No doubt, at present, cardiac valve allografts of one
sort or another are the devices of choice for conduits and have an
important place in the surgery of aortic valve replacement. Even
so, in the mind of this writer at least, the future usefulness of
allografts for the replacement of diseased cardiac valves and
conduits between a ventricle and the pulmonary artery, remains
problematic, and depends upon improvements in other devices for
this purpose and upon improve ments that may be made in preparing
and using allografts."
