Lamps back on. The saw can go. When you're looking over
their shoulder when they've got the chest open,
you just see the heart sat there... Quite an extraordinary thing. It is life right there. Can I have... 15 blade, a pair of forceps and aortic cannula? Here we go. With the chest now open, Stephen starts by inserting two
cannulas directly into the heart. The process involves making
an incision in a beating heart, which to an onlooker is kind of
a very, very weird thing to watch. See someone actually stabbing
someone's heart with a knife, but that's what the cardiothoracic
surgeons do. OK... Yeah? Do you want to go on
to the pump, please? Thank you. Going on bypass
