Floyd John Lewis (1916–1993) was an American surgeon who performed the first successful open heart operation, closing an atrial spetal defect in a 5-year-old girl, on September 2, 1952.[1] For the next 3 years, Lewis and colleagues operated on 60 patients with atrial septal defects using hypothermia and inflow occlusion.[2] He was best friends with C. Walton Lillehei and they worked together at the University of Minnesota.[3]
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, F. John continued investigating the use of hypothermia in the operating room.[4] Lewis later trained Thomas Starzl, who was completing a fellowship in cardiovascular surgery at Northwestern, and helped him to win a Markle Scholarship.[5]
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.[6] He died on September 20, 1993 in Santa Barbara of septicemia.
