Experimental and clinical studies have been made on various types of mechanical cardiac massage as a method to assist circulation, but in this study the authors made a number of improvements on the heretofore employed assister cup and using this improved assister cup conducted basic experiments with the purpose of resuscitation from cardiac insufficiency, preparatory and assisted circulation prior to artificial heart transplant and organ preservation on the premise of transplantation. A review was made on its effectiveness and on the method of producing this improved cup.
