Describe the route that blood takes through the cardiovascular system beginning with blood leaving the left ventricle?

More than 50 years later came surgery on the open heart, pioneered by John Lewis, C. Walton Lillehei (often called the "father of open heart surgery") and John Gibbon (who invented the heart-lung machine).
