The first successful open heart surgery was performed on July 9, 1893, when Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, an African-American, 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.
