- Abstract
The article features Doctor Horace Smithy, who is known as one of the pioneers in the field of cardiac surgery. Smithy developed a procedure that benefits patients with rheumatic aortic and mitral stenosis, designed and created an instrument that will carry it out and performed a series of experimental procedures on it. Smithy's legacy lives on with the Horace Smithy Endowed Visiting Professor and Lectureship, which is given annually since 1956.
