Here are entered works on extracorporeal pumping mechanisms that duplicate the function of the natural heart. Works on intracorporeal pumping mechanisms that duplicate the function of the natural heart are entered under Heart, Artificial
Apparatus that provides mechanical circulatory support during open-heart surgery, by passing the heart to facilitate surgery on the organ. The basic function of the machine is to oxygenate the body's venous supply of blood and then pump it back into the arterial system. The machine also provides intracardiac suction, filtration, and temperature control. Some of the more important components of these machines include pumps, oxygenators, temperature regulators, and filters. (UMDNS, 1999)
