BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1993
Death of Dr. Zerbini, surgeon who performed the first heart transplantation in Brazil.
Euryclides de Jesus Zerbini was born on 7 May 1912 in the city of Garatinguetá (SP). In 1930 Euryclides started to study Medicine in São Paulo. He graduated in 1935. At the age of 29 he was nominated as professor. In 1942, Euryclides performed the first cardiac surgery on a seven-year-old boy. In 1944, he moved to the United States to work at the Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, and at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. With the years, he became more specialized in cardiac surgery. The ‘Zerbini Caravan’ was created, and a surgical team traveled throughout Brazil and various Southern American countries. On 26 May 1968, slightly more than five months after the world’s first heart transplant in Cape Town (3 December 1967), the first heart transplant was performed in Brazil by Dr. Zerbini and his team. João Ferreira da Cunha, nicknamed João Boiadeiro, received the heart of Luis Fernando de Barros. The patient survived 28 days. The success resulted in the creation of InCor, the Heart Institute in São Paulo, one of the largest in the world. In 1969, Dr. Zerbini was nominated professor of Clinical Surgery at FMUSP in São Paulo. At advanced age, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died at InCor on 23 October 1993. During his professional life, he had trained more than 400 surgeons from Brazil, Latin America, and few other countries: the Disciples of Zerbini.
