Vet Emergency Surgery - Open Chest Surgery (Thoracotomy)

Warning: This video contains graphic scenes of a veterinary procedure. Bronx: Open Chest Surgery Bronx was playing in the back yard when he became impaled on a large stick - the wound looked small from the outside, however, what we found after further investigation was beyond anything we had ever seen before. Watch one of the most challenging surgeries we have faced to date and Bronx’s truly heroic recovery. I couldn’t be more proud of the AES team for their hard work and commitment during this long, complex procedure.
