Trauma inflicted to blood in different method of assisted circulation was studied in experiments and in the clinic. Morphological disturbances of red blood cells and changes in their aggregation properties were revealed. Left ventricular shunt and aorto-aortic counter-pulsation are attended with increased aggregation properties of blood platelets. Aorta-aortic counter-pulsation causes a greater damaging effect than shunting of the left ventricle. Counter-pulsation by means of a balloon pump is attended with least hemolysis.
