 Sir Astley Paston Cooper, 1st baronet (www.whonamedit.com)
Cooper, feeling offended by the directors of St. Thomas’s, agreed, and thus came the separation of the two schools of the United Borough Hospitals, which they had been termed until them, and thus the independence of the medical school at Guy’s goes back to that time.
Cooper was not a prolific writer, but his publications were of the highest quality and were the result of personal knowledge and observation gained from long hours of practice, dissecting, and experimentation.
In 1805 Cooper was one of the founders of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, and in the Transactions of this society, A case of aneurysm of the carotid artery, he reported the first ligature ever of carotis communis (1805).

 Chapter 18: Laboratory Experiments
The patient's death after forty hours was, according to Sir Astley, "owing to the want of circulation in the aneurysmal limb" which was "cold and lacking in sensibility." An autopsy of the abdomen revealed no peritonitis and the aorta was completely occluded by the ligature.
As an example of the applicability of Cooper's method, the highly-regarded vascular surgeon Harris B. Shumacker partially occluded the innominate artery by banding it at an initial operation to reduce flow, safely completing the occlusion at a later operation after adequate collateral had been established in the upper extremity.
Cooper's observation that simultaneous ligation of the major artery and vein to an extremity had a beneficial effect was a significant discovery.

 A look at the problem
Astley Cooper, a contemporary of both Boyer and Dupuytren also described contracted palms in 1822 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieveanddb=pubmedanddopt=Abstractandlist_uids=12864830andquery_hl=35 Cooper also recommended fascial release with small cuts or aponeurotomies.
This technique was first suggested by Dr. Astley Cooper in 1822 for the treatment of fascial contracions of the finger ie Dupuytren's.
Cooper stated: but when the aponeurosis is the cause of the contraction and the contracted band is narrow, it may be with advantage divided by a pointed bistoury (scalpel), introduced through a very small wound in the integument.

Cooper in 1840 described mammary branches from the 2nd-6th intercostal nerves, and noticed that the nipple was supplied by branches which lay close to the surface of the gland.
This account is uncannily close to Cooper's original description; it is a reassuring, if sobering, conclusion that his early account remains one of the most reliable.
Remembered today for Cooper's fascia, Cooper's hernia and other eponyms, Garrison asserts that “Cooper was one of the first surgical teachers to substitute practical demonstration upon an actual case for the old didactic theory-mongering of the past.”
