Andrew Logan, FRCS, FRCSEd (6 November 1906 – 9 September 2005) was a British cardiothoracic surgeon.[1] For most of his career he worked in Edinburgh where he established the specialty of cardio-thoracic surgery. He devised a mitral valve dilator to treat mitral stenosis and this technique, modified by Oswald Tubbs and by Russell Brock, became widely used to treat this condition. He assisted at the first pneumonectomy in the UK and performed the first lung transplant in the UK.[2]
