Theodore Tuffier, in 1898, incised a dying patient's chest on the wards of La Pitie Hospital and carried out manual cardiac massage. This act, based on animal experimentation, led to the first published surgical exposure of the unwounded human heart and illustrates the determination and creativity of a remarkable pioneer.
