9. Fig 8
Drawing showing experimental model of ventricular assist device, consisting of an outer rigid structure with two chambers, a blood chamber and an air chamber, with a diaphragm separating the two that could be compressed to force the blood out with valves that allowed for unidirectional flow so oxygenated blood came from the left atrium and was then pumped into the aorta by connection of the outflow graft to the left axillary artery.
