Animal Organ Donors: Human Health Applications. Platt, J., L. & Prather, R., S. 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
[First paragraph] The early years of the twentieth century brought a number of revolutionary advances in science and medicine. Of these, few equal the excitement and importance of vascular anastomosis, or surgical connection between two blood vessels. Vascular anastomosis permitted the repair of injured extremities, thus avoiding amputation and surgical penetration deep into body spaces. What especially gripped the imagination of surgeons, scientists, and the public 100 years ago, however, was that vascular anastomosis was the major technical advance needed for transplantation of organs to be considered in the treatment of disease (Guthrie 1912). Indeed, once developed, vascular anastomosis was applied immediately in experimental efforts in organ transplantation, and Alexis Carrel, an innovative surgeon, was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 1912 for this work.
