AB Concurrent  with  the  development  of  cardiac  surgery  in  the  1950s  as  a  means  of  correcting  congenital  heart  defects  came  the  need  for  large-volume  blood  transfusions.  In  the  1960s  and  1970s,  the  introduction  of  valve  prostheses  and  direct  grafting  of  coronary  arteries  also  made  the  repair  of  acquired  heart  diseases  a  possibility.  These  landmarks,  along  with  the  early  liberal  use  of  allogeneic  blood  transfusion  therapy,  led  to  rapid  growth  of  our  field.
