AB  - With  the  development  of  cardiac  surgery  in  the  1950s  to  correct  congenital  heart  defects  came  the  need  for  large-volume  blood  transfusions.  In  the  1960s  and  1970s,  the  introduction  of  valve  prostheses  and  direct  grafting  of  coronary  arteries  made  the  correction  of  acquired  heart  disease  a  possibility.  These  landmarks,  along  with  the  liberal  use  of  homologous  blood  transfusion  therapy,  led  to  rapid  growth  of  the  field.  Commensurate  with  the  growth  of  cardiac  surgery  as  a  field  was  an  increasing  incidence  of  transfusion-transmitted  hepatitis  in  the  1970s,  ultimately  alerting  the  public  and  treating  physicians  to  the  concept  of  blood  conservation.  The  emergence  of  infection  by  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  greater  heightened  the  interest  in  this  area,  leading  to  the  current  practices  of  blood  conservation  therapy  in  cardiac  surgery.
