The first open heart surgery was not performed by Vivien Thomas and Alfred Blalock (in 1944), as mentioned in the previous post. In 1902 Dr. Luther Leonidas Hill performed the first open heart surgery in the Western Hemisphere by suturing a stab wound in a young boy's heart. The surgery occurred in Montgomery, Alabama.
Dr. John Carter Callaghan performed the first successful open heart surgery in Canada at the University of Alberta hospital in 1956.

The term "open heart surgery" is really used incorrectly. We use it to mean a surgery where the chest is cut open to get the heart. A "bypass surgery" is where they cut open your chest and reroute the large blood vessels (arteries) on the outside of the heart. We do wrongfully call Bypass Surgery a type of Open Heart Surgery. But I would call a real "open heart surgery" where they cut open the chest and then cut open the heart to work inside the heart, like replace valves.

No. The first time surgery was performed on a heart, was on the 4th of September 1895, in Oslo, Norway.
Well, I guess it paved the way to a lot more open heart surgeries.
