- Abstract
Needless to say, the charismatic young polyglot Dr. Castañeda, with his sparkling and gentle personality, was inspiring everyone who approached him; he was able to diffuse, with great interest, his novel treatment for children with congenital heart diseases, fascinating everyone coming from all over the world. Aldo's happiness and satisfaction were readily apparent when he would speak about the many surgeons who underwent training with him in Boston, and later at the Unidad de Cirugia Cardiovascular de Guatemala (UNICAR).
