Carrel perfected the operation of arterial suture, end-to-end anastomosis of severed vessels with triple-threaded sutures. See also No. 3026.

Reports experimental heart transplantation in a dog. See also the earlier paper on pp. 284-5.

Carrel’s remarkable technique of end-to-end anastomosis of blood vessels; see also No. 2909.

Carrel revolutionized vascular surgery. He transplanted the kidney from one animal to another, an operation later carried out successfully in man. For his earlier work on vascular anastomosis and transplantation of viscera, see No. 2909.

In 1912 Carrel was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "in recognition of his work on vascular suture and the transplantation of blood vessels and organs." See also Nos. 3028, 11563, 3026, and 3027.

Carrel showed that arteries kept for days or weeks outside the body can be transplanted successfully.

Using the Rous chicken sarcoma, Carrel and Burrows were the first to grow tumor tissue in vitro.

Carrel’s experiments showed that it was possible to preserve portions of blood vessels in cold storage for long periods before using them in transplantation. For an appreciation of Carrel, see Garrison’s History, p. 733.

Carrel attempted the direct placement of a bypass vessel in a dog.

Extra-vital cultivation and rejuvenation of tissue. 

Carrel demonstrated the potential immortality of mammalian tissue. He was able to keep the excised viscera of an animal alive and functioning physiologically in vitro. For his later work see the same journal, 1911, 14, 244-7; 1913, 18, 155-61.

Carrel–Dakin treatment of wounds. With J. Daufresne and M. Dumas.

That was rapidly translated into English by Herbert Child as The treatment of infected wounds. With an introduction by Sir Anthony A. Bowlby. New York: Paul B. Hoeber, 1917.
