In the 1950s, Dr. Feng developed the first silk vascular prosthesis in Shanghai. In 1957, he successfully performed a lower limb aneurysm operation using this prosthesis, marking a significant milestone in the history of medicine since the establishment of the PRC in 1949.
Throughout the 1980s, he was invited to take up professorships at various institutions in the United States, including the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Loma Linda University School of Medicine in California. He also delivered guest lectures in Kuwait in the late 1980s.
