Abstract		The concept of cardiac surgery on the beating heart is acceptable rationale for the cardiac surgery in the next millenium. With the retrograde oxigenated coronary sinus perfusion it is possible to perform open cardiac surgery. Good exposure of the mural and aortic valve during this type of surgery is neccessary. A surgical technique is described, that allows complex surgical operations, such as double valve operations with/without coronary artery bypass grafting, on the beating heart, giving details of mural and aortic valve exposure, retrograde coronary sinus perfusion, and timing of each procedure.
