The surgeons then clamped the aorta beyond the catheter and clamped the pulmonary artery and venae cavae, thus isolating the heart from the rest of the body, which thereafter received no circulation...
With the heart-lung machine set at a low flow rate, the heart continued to have oxygenated blood pumped through it. And it was cooled...
