Where was the first open heart surgery performed?

Answer 1

Dr. Daniel Hale William-

James Cornish was dying. He had been carried into the emergency ward at Provident Hospital (which was founded by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams as the first segregated hospital) on Chicago's South Side, bleeding from a knife wound in his chest.

Dr. Daniel Hale Williams called for six of his fellow black physicians to help him get the dying man into an operating room. Carefully making an incision in his patient's chest, Williams exposed the man's still-beating heart and his near-fatal wound.

Williams and his surgeons sewed up the ragged gash located to the right of the heart, and, saying a prayer, sutured the chest incision, ending the world's first open heart surgery. The year was 1893.

Answer 2

The first successful open heart surgery was performed on July 9, 1893, when Dr. Daniel Hale Williams opened the chest of a man and repaired the pericardium (sac surrounding the heart), which had been damaged by a knife stabbing. The patient recovered after 51 days and lived for another 50 years.

Answer 3

It was in Greece, I think his name was Hippocrates,excuse my spelling if the name is wrong but, im positive it was in Greece

I can't tell you who performed the first open heart surgery, but I don't think Hippocrates was. The Greek's were very superstitious people and believed that mutilating the body was sacrilegious. Thou many think of him as being the "Father of Medicine."

Though there were probably a few undocumented successes before, I believe the first successful heart surgery occurred in the u.s. in the 1800's.

On September 2, 1952, two University of Minnesota surgeons, Dr. Walton Lillehei and Dr. John Lewis, attempted the first open heart surgery
