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.
False. The first heart transplant into a human was performed in 1964, when a dying man received a chimpanzee heart. The first transplant of a human heart to another human was performed in 1967.
The first surgery on the heart itself was performed by Norwegian surgeon Axel Cappelen on the 4th of September 1895 at Rikshospitalet in Kristiania, now Oslo. The patient had the emergency surgery due to a knife wound and died a day later from infection. The first successful surgery of the heart was by Dr. Ludwig Rehn of Frankfurt, Germany, on September 7, 1896, on another trauma patient. Planned surgeries to correct defects in the great vessels that lead away from the heart were done in the early 1900's but true planned (i.e. not to repair trauma) surgeries of the heart were not commonly done until after WWII.

No, Jose Rizal was not the first surgeon to perform a human heart transplant. The first successful human heart transplant was performed by South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard in 1967. Rizal was a Filipino nationalist and writer, not a surgeon.
Never... The heart of a pig would not function correctly in a human.
Heart tissue begins to form in a human embryo around 3 weeks after fertilization. At this stage, the heart starts to develop from a tube-like structure that eventually grows and matures into a fully functional organ.
