Abstract

The utilization of cardiopulmonary bypass to allow surgery on the heart was first described in the middle part of the last century (Dennis et al., 1951; Gibbon, 1954). Since that time, considerable advancements have been made not only in our understanding of cardiac physiology and surgical technique but also in the technical aspects of cardiopulmonary bypass. This has resulted in an improvement in overall morbidity and mortality as well as overall quality of life after cardiac surgery.
