MONTEIRO, Candido Borges (mon-tay'-ro), Brazilian physician, born in Rio Janeiro, 12 October, 1812; died there, 25 August, 1872. He entered the Medico-chirurgical academy, and was graduated in surgery in 1833, and in medicine a year later. In 1837 he obtained the professorship of operative surgery and topographical anatomy, which he held for twenty-five years, and he also figured in parliament as an eloquent orator. He was a notable operator, the first in Brazil to tie the aorta above the iliacal bifurcation, and wrote a valuable treatise on the operation, which was printed in the "Annals of the Imperial Academy of Medicine" in Rio de Janeiro. He was physician to the imperial family, held the presidency for four years of the municipal chamber of the capital, and occupied other high posts as councillor and minister of state, agriculture, commerce and public works, and senator of the empire for the province of Rio Janeiro.
