- "Early decades of cardiac surgery"
- "Golden age of fetal physiology"
- "Era of modern neonatal intensive care"
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1938 The first Surgery of PDA (ligation of the duct) by DR.Robert Gross at Boston Children's Hospital.
- It was done on a 7 years old girl with PDA.
