The American Association for Thoracic Surgery is recognizing the contributions of two giants in the field with two of its highest honors. The AATS will present its Lifetime Achievement Award to Aldo R. Castaneda and the Scientific Achievement Award to Magdi Yacoub on April 30, 2018, during the Plenary Session of the AATS Annual Meeting in San Diego, California.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals for their significant contributions to the specialty in the areas of patient care, teaching, research or community service. Dr. Castaneda, who served as the 74th President of the AATS in 1993-94, is the eighth recipient of the award since it was established in 2004.
His humanism has been a part of his work from early on in his career and now in his retirement, he continues to contribute to the well-being of the underserved people of Guatemala through the Aldo Castaneda Foundation.
In 1994, the Association established its Scientific Achievement Award to recognize individuals who have made extraordinary scientific contributions to the field of cardiothoracic surgery. Dr. Yacoub joins 12 other colleagues as a recipient of the highest scientific recognition this Association can bestow upon a surgeon.
As one of the busiest adult, congenital and thoracic transplant surgeons in the world over a very long career, he has always placed basic science and innovation on equal footing with performing operations. His dedication to patients throughout the world continues with his current efforts to develop the Aswan Heart Center to care for the indigent.
