In 1957, after the demonstration of the superiority of median sternotomy, it became the standard incision and has remained so until today. Through this approach, the surgeon can see the entire heart and control the whole operative field visually and tactically. Cardiac surgery through sternotomy is safe and efficient, and is considered to be the gold standard for surgical treatment of all congenital and acquired heart diseases resulting in low failure rates and excellent proven long-term outcomes.
