To the Editor:

I am indebted to Mineo and colleagues for many innovative approaches in thoracic surgery, including the initial description of the transxiphoid handport. It was their report [1] that stimulated me to use this procedure. They appropriately deserve credit, as do Wright and colleagues [2] for variations on the approach. We thank Mineo and colleagues for their comments [3].
