The first cardiopulmonary bypass procedure was conducted on May 6, 1953 using a heart-lung machine invented by John and Mary Gibbon [3]. Today cardiopulmonary bypass procedures are routine. Figure 23.3 shows the increase in cardiopulmonary bypass procedures in United States from 1979 to 2002 [4]. From 1995 to 2002 about 700,000 cardiopulmonary bypass procedures were conducted each year in the United States. Among these, more than 50% of cardiopulmonary bypass procedures were conducted on patients above 65 years, while 40% were conducted on patients between 45 and 64 years of age.

While he was still a medical student in 1932, renowned cardiac surgeon Michael E. DeBakey introduced a dual-roller pump for blood transfusion. It has since become the most widely used type of clinical pump for cardiopulmonary bypass and hemodialysis. Physician John H. Gibbon, Jr., of Philadelphia, developed the first clinically successful heart-lung pump. He initially demonstrated it in 1953, when he closed a hole between the atria of an eighteen-year-old girl.
