Adrian Kantrowitz (October 4, 1918 – November 14, 2008) was an American cardiac surgeon whose team performed the world's second heart transplant attempt (after Christiaan Barnard)[1] at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York on December 6, 1967.[2][3] The infant lived for only six hours. At a press conference afterwards, Kantrowitz emphasized that he considered the operation to have been a failure.[4]
Kantrowitz also invented the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), a left ventricular assist device (L-VAD), and an early version of the implantable pacemaker.[2]
In 1981, Kantrowitz became a founding member of the World Cultural Council.[5]
