[Partial replacement of the heart].

A ventricular-aortic blood pump was constructed for the functional replacement of the left heart. Hemodynamic experiments showed that the device was able to pump the total cardiac output in calves with a body weight under 85 kg. In these cases the myocardial oxygen consumption decreased to 40%. Laboratory findings in 5 longterm experiments revealed a complete adaptation of the body to the artificial organ up to 73 days.
