I've never actually heard those terms dictated but it sounds like it would be the removal of a clavicle and a rib. Just a guess on my part... :)

A cross-clamp was applied to the ascending aorta and antegrade cardioplegia was given, followed by continuous retrograde cardioplegia. __________ 5:20 groove was then opened.
Thanks in advance! ...
