First East Coast Heart Surgery Successful at Richmond Center
Price, a Raleigh County resident, underwent March 16 1962 surgery at the Medical College of Virginia Hospital to replace a rheumatic valve with a Starr ball type valve. The operation used a heart lung machine funded by Heart Fund research and marked a milestone on the east coast. Price credits his surgeon Dr Lewis H Bosher Jr and engineer M Lowell Edwards, notes the necessity of ongoing penicillin, and praises heart research efforts alongside national figures like Norman Shumway. The piece places Price within a broader context of heart research funding and aims to reassure patients about surviving heart surgery risks.
