BALTIMORE-A Johns Hopkins
Hospital surgeon has just reported
that an extremely delicate surgi-
cal technique previously dared
by only few doctors and rarely
with success-now, appears prac-
tical for much more common use.
The operation is the removal
of a blood-filled bubble, some
times as large as a basketball,
arising on the aorta, or main
artery. The thumb-sized aorta is
truly the lifeline of the body and
any surgery associated with it is
always hazardous.
Dr.. Henry r. Bahnson, 80, re-
ported the largest series of cases
yet attacked by the direct-removal
technique and the highest per-
centage of apparent successes,
six out of nine cases. One of the
six contained more than gallon
of blood.
Rising like a blister on a weak
ened automobile inner tube an
aortic bubble, or aneurysm, can
result from syphilis, hardening of
the arteries, or from an injury.
Left untreated, it usually causes

Meat packers estimate that 2
pounds of the choicest meat are
discarded from each animal that
has cattle grubs. Parks says, I'm
this way, II million pounds of
meat are lost annually in the Unit
ed States. This would feed about
$4,000 persons for one year.
In addition to meat loss, we
pay to the cattle grub about SO
million for the damage they do to
hides. More than half the cattle
slaughtered at Cleveland recently
were discounted because of five or
more grub holes in the hides"
Dairy cattle also give less milk
when the heel fly worries them in
the summer. Farmers have to
stand the dollar-loss Of meat, hides
and milk.

Blood Bubble Surgery May Save Lives

cluding fine watch springs, have
been inserted and have promoted
clotting by 'stirring-up" action.
Several techniques have been aim
ed at inducing clotting by wrap

rial.
Occasionally, DR.. Bahnson told
the Johns Hopkins Medical So
ciety in his report, when clotting
is produced the bubble subsidies.
However, this is sometimes fol-
lowed by a recurrence-an death.
The surgeon told the meeting he
and his associate had not en-
ployed any operating methods
brand new to surgery but had ap-
piled advances made in blood
vessel surgery over the past de-
cade by many surgeons.
These include improved tech
niques for cIamping blood vessels
so as not to interfere too stren-
uousIy with normal blood flows,
and for sewing blood vessels.
BLOOD BUBBLE like the one
shown here is now handled by
modern surgical techniques.
