Blood of Boy Pumped Through Dog's Lung During Operation

A 13 year old Arkansas boy named Calvin Richmond underwent a three hour heart operation at the University of Minnesota Hospitals. Doctors used a removed dog lung inflated to about a catapult size to create a dry field and pumped the boy's blood through the lung for about 15 minutes while closing three holes in his heart. Blood was diverted by a mechanical pump through plastic cubes and warmed before returning to the boy's system. The operation aimed to keep the heart blood moving as repairs were made.
