Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A scarce monograph documenting an important development in the history of medicine and surgery for the control of ascites secondary to liver disease. Softcover, stapled wraps, printed/illustrated front cover, 8 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches, 61 pp., references, figures. Very good pl…us (mailing and postal labels, rear cover). (K011) The LeVeen shunt was the first widely successful, clinically viable device to employ the peritoneovenous method of controlling ascites. Introduced by Dr. Harry H. LeVeen in 1974, it completely revolutionized the management of refractory ascites by establishing a way to continuously cycle fluid back into the venous system using a pressure-sensitive, one-way valve. While it was the first design to gain massive global adoption and mainstream clinical success, it belongs to a timeline of specialized medical evolution: 1. Predecessors and Early Concepts (Before 1974) Before Dr. LeVeen's design, physicians experimented with early variations of peritoneovenous shunting—such as the experimental Hyde shunt used between 1964 and 1974. However, these early attempts struggled heavily with immediate clogging, backward blood flow, and severe surgical complications, meaning they never achieved widespread clinical validation. 2. The LeVeen Breakthrough (1974) Dr. LeVeen solved the backflow issue by engineering a unidirectional valve that opened only when the pressure in the abdominal cavity grew higher than the pressure in the central veins. This structural breakthrough allowed the medical community to adopt the device en masse, with thousands of placements performed globally through the late 1970s and 1980s. 3. Subsequent Evolution (1979 and Beyond) Though revolutionary, the LeVeen shunt required a strict pressure gradient to flow and was highly prone to clotting if the fluid became too thick. To fix this, the Denver shunt was introduced in 1979. It utilized LeVeen's core concept but added a flexible, subcutaneous pump chamber that patients or doctors could manually squeeze to flush out debris and keep the tube clear. Because the Denver modification drastically reduced valve failure, the original LeVeen design fell out of favor and was eventually discontinued in the late 1990s. (K011).

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. An important monograph in the history of renal transplantation and the history of medicine by a seminal figure in organ transplantation, Thomas Starzl. Softcover in two parts, stapled wraps, 9 x 5 7/8 inches, April 1974 (59 pp.), May 1974 (54 pp.), 293 references, figures. Very good… (moderate amount of text underlining in ink). Scarce. (K063) Starzl "…is universally recognized across the medical community as the "Father of Modern Transplantation." His work single-handedly shifted organ transplantation from the realm of dangerous science fiction into a routine, life-saving reality. His profound, foundational contributions to medicine span several breakthroughs: The First Liver Transplants: Dr. Starzl performed the world's first human liver transplant in 1963 and achieved the first successful, long-term survival liver transplant in 1967. Immunosuppression Breakthroughs: He discovered how to stop the human body from rejecting foreign organs. He pioneered combining corticosteroids with azathioprine, and later introduced revolutionizing drugs like cyclosporine and tacrolimus. Standardizing the Field: Beyond performing surgeries, he wrote the blueprint for organ preservation, tissue matching, and the team-based surgical models still used in modern hospitals today. Dr. Starzl's decades of research and relentless determination literally created the surgical discipline that now saves thousands of lives annually around the globe.".
