Solution
The first cardiac surgery was done by Dr. Williams. A patient, James Cornish, was suffering from a very serious knife wound, and the knife had cut an artery less than an inch from his heart. It had punctured the pericardium. Dr. Williams and six staff doctors performed a complicated and daring operation and repaired the heart. This became the first successful cardiac surgery.
