Abstract
Cardiac wounds have been described for centuries and still remain to be fatal. For a long period of time, the suturing of a myocardial laceration was thought to be absolutely impossible if not sacrilege. It is only at the end of the 19th century that pioneers decided to defy such a dogma in desperate cases. Nowadays, it seems obvious that a cardiac stab wound requires emergent surgery whenever possible. The story of cardiac wounds highlights nicely the change of mind that is required to accept progress and new procedures in medicine.
