Helen Taussig (1898-1986) was a pediatric cardiologist known for developing surgical procedures for heart defects in babies, including the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt - a treatment for a condition commonly known as "blue baby" syndrome. In addition to being the first woman to head up the American Heart Association, she was instrumental in bringing about the banning of thalidomide in the early 1960's. This First Edition, third printing, is considered "a foundational text of pediatric cardiology" (Wikipedia). It was later expanded to two volumes in 1960. Very scarce. book.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Pp. 189-202. Original wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. SIGNED BY HELEN B. TAUSSIG: "To Dr. W. Bruce Fye/ from Helen B. Taussig" (see photos). Grolier, One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine 97 (this is the copy exhibited at the Grolier Club Exhibition): "Cardiac surgery owes much to the team from Johns Hopkins that developed an operation for tetralogy of Fallot, a common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. The 'Blalock-Taussig' or 'blue baby' operation, first performed by Alfred Blalock in 1944, was immediately recognized as a major advance. . . . Helen Taussig, the pioneer pediatric cardiologist, was the first to suggest the creation of an anastomosis between the systemic and pulmonary circulations, and she urged Blalock to develop the innovative operation. Blalock, working with his African-American laboratory assistant Vivien Thomas, eventually succeeded in finding a means of connecting the left subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery, thus creating a shunt that dramatically increased the pulmonary blood flow". Garrison-Morton 3043: "The 'Blalock-Taussig operation' for the relief of congenital defects of the pulmonary artery, Tetralogy of Fallot ('blue baby syndrome'). 'The first surgical repair was carried out in 1944 at Johns Hopkins. The procedure was conducted by surgeon Alfred Blalock and cardiologist Helen B. Taussig, with Vivien Thomas also providing substantial contributions and listed as an assistant. . . . It was actually Helen Taussig who convinced Alfred Blalock that the shunt was going to work. 15-month-old Eileen Saxon was the first person to receive a Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt' (Wikipedia article on Tetralogy of Fallot)." "Helen Brooke Taussig (May 24, 1898-May 20, 1986) was an American cardiologist, working in Baltimore and Boston, who founded the field of pediatric cardiology. She is credited with developing the concept for a procedure that would extend the lives of children born with Tetralogy of Fallot (the most common cause of blue baby syndrome). This concept was applied in practice as a procedure known as the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt. The procedure was developed by Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, who were Taussig's colleagues at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Taussig was partially deaf following an ear infection in childhood; in early adulthood this progressed to full deafness. To compensate for her loss of hearing, she learned to use lip-reading techniques and hearing aids to speak with her patients. Taussig also developed a method of using her fingers, rather than a stethoscope, to feel the rhythm of their heartbeats. Some of her innovations have been attributed to her ability to diagnose heart problems by touch rather than by sound. Taussig is also known for her work in banning thalidomide and was widely recognized as a highly skilled physician. She was the first woman to be elected head of the American Heart Association. She was more proud of the fact that she was the first pediatrician to be elected head of the AMA; and in 1964 she was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom" (Wikipedia).

Dear Mr. O'Connor, Once again I am indebted/ to you for your kind hospitality. The/ Second International Conference on/ Congenital Malformations was a great/ success. You added greatly to our/ pleasure by the opening reception which/ gave us an opportunity to meet you/ & Mrs. O'Connor & all those responsible/ for the meeting. Thank you for/ including me in your special reception/ to Dr. Stafford Warren before the/ dinner on Wednesday./ The social entertainment was/ extremely pleasant & the scientific/ papers of high quality. What more/ could any one ask or even hope for!/ With kind regards to you/ & Mrs. O'Connor/ Sincerely yours/ Helen B. Taussig/ July 21, 1963. Quoting from the Wikipedia page for Helen Taussig: "Helen Brooke Taussig (May 24, 1898 May 20, 1986) was an American cardiologist, working in Baltimore and Boston, who founded the field of pediatric cardiology.

She was more proud of the fact that she was the first pediatrician to be elected head of the AMA; and in 1964 she was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom." Quoting from the Wikipedia page for Basil O'Connor: "In cooperation with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt he started two foundations for the rehabilitation of polio patients and the research on polio prevention and treatment. From 1944 to 1949 he was chairman and president of theAmerican Red Cross and from 1945 to 1950 he was chairman of the League of Red Cross Societies. . . ." His fundraising prowess for medicine was without equal in his day: "O'Connor devoted much of his time to the work in the two foundations which he presided over until his death. His efforts in fundraising were much more successful than those of other foundations. For example, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis succeeded in collecting $66.9 million in 1954 for 100,000 new patients, while in the case of about 10 million patients with heart diseases only $11.3 million were donated. In 1958 O'Connor received the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service of the Lasker Foundation in recognition of his efforts in the fight against polio. On January 2, 1958 the National Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary at Warm Springs, Georgia and Basil O'Connor was honored by having his bust inducted into the Polio Hall of Fame next to FDR and fifteen polio scientists from two centuries." Four years before in 1954 Alfred Blalock and Helen B. Taussig received the Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research for their first successful "blue baby" operation [in 1944]. At the Second International Conference on Congenital Malformations to which Taussig refers in her letter, O'Connor spoke, giving the opening address: "Science--a Struggle for Truth.".…

First edition. THE 'BLALOCK-TAUSSIG SHUNT': A 'MAJOR ADVANCE' (GROLIER). First edition, rare separately-paginated offprint (journal pagination 189-202), of this landmark paper on cardiac surgery. "Cardiac surgery owes much to the team from Johns Hopkins that developed an operation for tetralogy of Fallot, a common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. The 'Blalock-Taussig' or 'blue baby' operation, first performed by Alfred Blalock in 1944, was immediately recognized as a major advance . Helen Taussig, the pioneer pediatric cardiologist, was the first to suggest the creation of an anastomosis between the systemic and pulmonary circulation, and she urged Blalock to develop the innovative operation. Blalock, working with his African-American laboratory assistant Vivien Thomas, eventually succeeded in finding a means of connecting the left subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery, thus creating a shunt that dramatically increased the pulmonary blood flow" (Grolier Medicine 97). "The conception and execution of this operation was brilliant in several ways. It was a triumph of technique . It was brilliant in conception as a method of relieving severe disability, and . last and perhaps most important of all, it showed that cyanotic congenital heart disease, previously incurable and always fatal, could be cured by surgery. This inspired and stimulated the enormous advances in cardiac surgery which followed with almost breathless rapidity within a very short period of time" (Lord Russell Brock in Westaby and Bosher eds., Landmarks in Cardiac Surgery, Oxford, 1997, p 112). "Helen Taussig was a brilliant physician whose contributions advanced the status of women in medicine, her insightful observations influenced the development of cardiac surgery, and she developed a new subspecialty in pediatrics and wrote its first definitive textbook" (DMB 5, p. 1221). Vivien Thomas was the subject of the 2004 HBO movie 'Something the Lord Made'. ABPC/RBH record 3 copies. "The original procedure was named for Alfred Blalock, surgeon, Culloden, GA (1899-1964), Helen B. Taussig, cardiologist, Baltimore/Boston (1898-1986) and Vivien Thomas (1910-1985) who was at that time Blalock's laboratory assistant. They all helped to develop the procedure. Taussig, who treated hundreds of infants and children with this disorder, had observed that children with a cyanotic heart defect and a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) lived longer than those without the PDA. It, therefore, seemed to her that a shunt that mimicked the function of a PDA might relieve the tetralogy patients' poor oxygenation. In 1943, having broached the possibility of a surgical solution to Robert Gross of Boston without success, Taussig approached Blalock and Thomas in their Hopkins laboratory in 1943. According to the account of the original consultation between the three provided in Vivien Thomas' 1985 autobiography Partners of the Heart, Taussig carefully described the anomaly of Tetralogy of Fallot, but made no suggestion about the specific surgical correction required, observing merely that it should be possible to get more blood to the lungs, "as a plumber changes pipes around." Although Taussig was not aware of it at that time, Blalock and Thomas had already experimented with such an anastomosis, one that Blalock had conceived years earlier for a different purpose but which had the unanticipated effect of re-routing blood to the lungs. The operation involved the joining of the subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery. After meeting with Taussig, the two men set about perfecting the operation in the animal lab, with Thomas performing the subclavian-to-pulmonary anastomosis alone in some 200 laboratory dogs, then adapting the instruments for the first human surgery from those used on the experimental animals" (Wikipedia). "Helen Taussig's idea for treating blue baby syndrome was to create a connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, increasing blood flow to the lungs. Blalock and Thomas.…
