Placing A Heart Pump Sited Outside The Body

Connects a mechanical pump that sits outside the body to one of the heart's lower chambers, using tubes passed through the chest wall to draw blood from the heart and return it to the main artery. The chest is opened to attach the tubes, usually with a heart-lung machine supporting the circulation during the operation. It supports a severely failing heart while it recovers or while longer-term plans are made.
