Surgery of the heart usually involves opening the heart muscle. For
operations of short duration it is possible to apply hypothermy (deep
cooling) and thus temporarily stopping the blood circulation
altogether. However, for major operations it is necessary to maintain
the circulation, and this is achieved by means of the heart-lung
machine.
