he related to a New York newspa-
per in 1966.
As a boy, he and his older
brother, Arthur, now 95 and a
physicist, constructed an electro-
cardiograph from old radio parts,
and later collaborated on the
LVAD. Adrian got a mathematics
degree from New York University
and his medical degree from
the former Long Island College
of Medicine, interning at the
Brooklyn Jewish Hospital. He was
a battalion surgeon in the Army
Medical Corps.
Dr. Kantrowitz was an avid
pilot, motorcyclist and sailor. He
received a Lifetime Achievement
Award from the American Society
for Artificial Internal Organs in
2001, but he wasn't finished with
his work. Earlier this year, the
Food and Drug Administration
approved a clinical trial of his
latest cardiac assistance device,
which promises to allow seriously
ill patients to move around and
even exercise.
Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz is sur-
vived by his wife, Jean; three
children, Dr. Niki Kantrowitz,
a cardiologist in Brooklyn; Dr.
Lisa Kantrowitz, a radiologist in
Newport Beach, Calif.; and Dr.
Allen Kantrowitz, a neurosurgeon
in Williamstown, Mass; and nine
grandchildren.
Burial was in New York City.
Contributions may be made
to a charity of one's choice.
