• Tubes are used tore-route the blood through a special pump called a heart- lung bypass machine. This machine adds oxygen to the blood and keeps the blood warm and moving through the rest of the body while the surgeon is repairing the heart.
• Using the machine allows the heart to be stopped. Stopping the heart makes it possible to repair the heart muscle itself, the heart faucets, or the blood vessels outside the heart. After the form is done, the heart is started again, and the machine is removed.
