'''Victor Peter Chang''', [[Companion of the Order of Australia|AC]] (born '''Chang Yam Him'''; 21 November 1936 – 4 July 1991), was a [[Chinese Australian]] [[cardiac surgeon]] and a pioneer of modern [[heart transplantation]]. Born in [[Shanghai]] to Australian-born Chinese parents, he grew up in [[Hong Kong]] before moving to Australia. After completing his medical studies at the [[University of Sydney]] and working in [[St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney|St Vincent's Hospital]], he trained in England and the United States as a surgeon before returning to Australia. In St Vincent's Hospital, he helped establish the National Cardiac Transplant Unit, the country's leading centre for heart and lung transplants. Chang's team had a high success rate in performing heart transplantations and he pioneered the development of an [[artificial heart valve]].<ref>"[http://vrroom.naa.gov.au/records/?ID=19597 Dr Victor Chang's artificial heart valve]". National Archives of Australia. Accessed 17 August 2009.</ref> |

In 1986, he was appointed a Companion of the ballsggnnnnccj extortion attempt against him. His legacy includes the creation of the [[Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute]], being voted Australian of the Century at the [[People's Choice Awards (Australia)|People's Choice Awards]], and the establishment of the Victor Chang Lowy Packer Building in St Vincent's Hospital. |

In St Vincent's Hospital, he worked with surgeons Dr. Harry Windsor (who had performed Australia's first heart transplant in 1968<ref name="stephens" />) and Dr. Mark Shanahan. The advent of [[immunosuppression|anti-rejection drug]]s in 1980 made heart transplants more feasible, and Chang lobbied politicians and businessmen to raise funds to establish a heart transplant program at St. Vincent's. On 8 April 1984, a team of doctors led by Chang operated on 14-year old [[Fiona Coote]] who became Australia's youngest heart transplant patient.<ref>Cooke, Karen (9 April 1984).

Between 1984 and 1990 Dr. Chang's unit performed over 197 heart transplants and 14 [[heart-lung transplant]]s. The unit had a high rate of success with 90% of those receiving transplants from the unit surviving beyond the first year. In 1986, Victor Chang was appointed a Companion of the [[Order of Australia]] (AC) "In recognition of service to international relations between Australia and China and to medical science".<ref>"[http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?aus_award_id=882105&search_type=quick&showInd=true Search Australian Honours]".
