Ivan Fedorovich Sabaneev (1856–1937) – author of the first in Russia operation of arterial suture in clinical practice and the first cardiorrhaphy in experiment

Abstract

Background. According to the periodical press of the 19th century, there were very few studies devoted to the history of the origin of vascular surgery (operations of venous suture, arterial suture and cardiorrhaphy) in Russia.

Objective. This study was aimed at determining the precedence of first operations of venous suture, arterial suture and heart suturing in Russia based on publications in the periodical press in the 19th century.

Materials and methods. Presented herein are reports of Russian surgeons regarding operations of vascular suture, arterial suture and cardiorrhaphy published in the periodical press in the 19th century. These publications were analyzed using historical, evolutionary-chronological and comparative methods.

Design: retrospective study.

Results and discussion. We performed a comparative content analysis of 3 articles by Russian surgeon I.F. Sabaneev published in the periodical press (journal “Medical Review”, 1890, 1894; journal “Russian Surgical Archives”, 1895). A conclusion was made that I.F. Sabaneev should be considered a pioneer of not only restorative vascular surgery in Russia (venous suture operation and the first arterial suture operation) but also one of the world leaders performing cardiorrhaphy in experiment (third in the world operation of heart suturing in a rabbit).

Conclusion. Owing to I.F. Sabaneev’s works in vascular surgery in 1895 in Russia, the paradigm of inevitability of ligation of a diseased or injured vessel was replaced by a new paradigm, i. e., possibility and necessity of restoring the vessel’s integrity with preservation of main blood flow. And namely the arterial suture operation became the last step on the way to cardiorrhaphy.
