Sergei S  Brukhonenko was very famous at the 
beginning of the century for his  experiment 
of  "mantaining an isolated canine head 
responsive"  with his artificial circulation 
machine which was patented on  15/12/1934
Take a look to the address below, it connects to 
an archive  of films. This one  shows  Brukhonenko 
machine in action and  some experiment of  canine resuscitation.
Without the "Barbarossa"  invasion (21/June/1941) 
cardiac surgery coul'd have started in  the  old  Europe.
Unbelivable ??
Dear Giulio,
Fascinating information. 
We can go further back to the University of Leipzig in 1885. Max von Frey  
and Max Gruber had an extracorporeal apparatus to keep organs (e.g.  kidney)

alive and functioning while they did physiologic studies.
Their apparatus had pulsatile pumps, oxygenator, heat exchanger, pressure  
and flow control.
I am sure you are aware also of Carrel and Lindbergh's work at Rockefeller  
in the 30's.
That is why it is so hard to choose the 50 important papers.  All of 
knowledge is a continuum and we all owe something to predecessors.
Bob
