TECHXIC OF EXPOSING THE THORACIC CAVITY io5 from the body. Some pathologists advise making this incision towardsthe left of the pulmonary artery, so as to cut between the left anteriorand posterior cusps. The right ventricle is now exposed so that thecondition of the pulmonary valves, endocardium, myocardium, chordaetendineae, etc., of this side of the heart may be noted. Now dissectaway the connective tissue binding together the pulmonary artery andthe aorta. In opening the left ventricle, cut the anterior wall as near the ven-tricular septum as possible, starting from the apical extremity (H)and stopping at the point ove
