| Abstract: | In 1918 neurosurgeon Sir Charles Ballance removed a bullet from the heart of a soldier based in Malta. After WWII cardiac surgeon Mr Lance Bromley and cardiologist Dr Edwin Besterman treated Maltese patients in St Mary’s Hospital, London. A visiting consultant service in 1983 was followed by a permanent resident program in 1995, providing a comprehensive adult cardiothoracic service. The future of cardiac surgery depends on evolving technologies and surgeons who are innovators. |
