Floyd John Lewis (1916 – September 20, 1993) was an American surgeon who performed the first successful open heart operation, closing an atrial septal defect in a 5-year-old girl, on 2 September 1952. For the next 3 years, Lewis and colleagues operated on 60 patients with atrial septal defects using hypothermia and inflow occlusion. He was best friends with C. Walton Lillehei and they worked together at the University of Minnesota.

| dbo:abstract | Floyd John Lewis (* 26. November 1916; † 20. September 1993 in Santa Barbara (Kalifornien)) war ein US-amerikanischer Chirurg. Er führte 1952 an der University of Minnesota die erste erfolgreiche Operation am offenen Herzen durch. Lewis wurde 1950 Instructur, 1951 Assistant Professor, 1952 Clinical Associate Professor und 1954 Associate Professor für Chirurgie an der University of Minnesota. Lewis war ein enger Freund von Clarence Walton Lillehei an der University of Minnesota, der Anfang der 1950er Jahre mit seinem Team an Innovationen in der Herzchirurgie wie der bereits von Wilfred Gordon Bigelow angewandten Hypothermie (Unterkühlung) weiterarbeitete. Am 2. September 1952 unternahm Lewis die erste erfolgreiche Operation am offenen Herzen bei einem fünfjährigen Mädchen, das ein Loch in der Herzscheidewand hatte (Atriumseptumdefekt, ASD). Sein Team unterband die Blutzufuhr des Herzens und kühlte die Patientin auf 80 Grad Fahrenheit ab, um den Sauerstoffverbrauch zu minimieren, was ihnen ein Zehnminuten-Fenster für die Operation verschaffte. Er unternahm noch 59 weitere ASD-Operationen, bevor er die University of Minnesota 1956 verließ. Komplexere Operationen konnte das Team von Lillehei mit einer „Cross Circulation“ genannten Technik ausführen, das die Verwendung einer damals noch nicht verfügbaren Herz-Lungen-Maschine umging und erstmals 1954 ausgeführt wurde. 1956 ging er an die Northwestern University als erstes Vollzeit-Mitglied der chirurgischen Fakultät. Nachdem er bei der Vergabe des Lehrstuhls für Chirurgie übergangen worden war, ging er 1976 vorzeitig in den Ruhestand und zog nach Kalifornien. Dort schrieb er über Fahrradtouren um Santa Barbara, Bergwandern und Klettern. Zu seinen Schülern an der Northwestern University zählte Thomas Starzl.

Walton Lillehei and they worked together at the University of Minnesota. In 1956, Lewis moved on from Minnesota to Northwestern University where he became the first full-time member of the faculty of surgery. At Northwestern, Lewis continued investigating the use of hypothermia in the operating room. Lewis later trained Thomas Starzl, who was completing a fellowship in cardiovascular surgery at Northwestern, and helped him to win a Markle Scholarship. After being passed up for the Chair of Surgery position, Lewis departed for Santa Barbara in 1976 where he engaged in new careers: writing, hiking and mountain-climbing essays, and publishing a pamphlet entitled Bicycling Santa Barbara. He died on 20 September 1993 in Santa Barbara of sepsis. (en) |
