vasilii kolesov
bullet::::- soviet cardiac surgeon, vasilii kolesov, performed the first successful internal mammary artery–coronary artery anastomosis in 1964. however, goetz has been cited by others, including kolesov, as the first successful human coronary artery bypass. goetz's case has frequently been overlooked. confusion has persisted for over 40 years and seems to be due to the absence of a full report and to misunderstanding about the type of anastomosis that was created. the anastomosis was intima-to-intima, with the vessels held together with circumferential ligatures over a specially designed metal ring. kolesov did the first successful coronary bypass using a standard suture technique in 1964, and over the next five years he performed 33 sutured and mechanically stapled anastomoses in leningrad (now st. petersburg), ussr.
