About this Item

Halsted, William S. (1852-1922). Ligations of the left subclavian artery in its first portion. Offprint from The Johns Hopkins Hospital Review 21 (1921). 96pp. 8 plates. 263 x 193 mm. Original printed wrappers, tiny marginal tears in lower margin of front wrapper. Fine. First Edition, Offprint Issue. "Of his numerous publications on vascular surgery, Halsted s most scholarly and interesting is that entitled Ligations of the Left Subclavian Artery in its First Portion, published in 1921, one year before his death. It contains a good historical survey . . . Halsted concluded his informative paper by listing twenty-one aneurysms in which ligation of the first portion of the left subclavian was done. The twenty-first case was his own and perhaps, said Halsted, the largest subclavian aneurysm ever operated upon" (Wangensteen & Wangensteen, The Rise of Surgery, p. 263.). Included in the plates is a series of eight illustrations of the pre- and postoperative appearance of Halsted s patient; another plate shows the excised aneurysm in its natural size.
