The "artificial heart" implant operation involves the insertion of a device (LVAD) that takes over the functions of the left ventricle of the heart, which is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
Blood flows through these chambers in a pattern that supplies all parts of the body with oxygenated blood and returns blood to the lungs for re-oxygenation.
The result is that highly oxygenated blood keeps recycling through the lungs, while oxygen-depleted blood recycles through the body.
