The Kyocera Gyro C1E3 centrifugal blood pump was clinically applied for a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The patient was 72‐year‐old male with postinfarction unstable angina. The surgery was carried out on November 20, 1998. The air inside the pump was easily and quickly removed, and its controllability was excellent. The pump flow during operation was maintained 2.2 L/m 2 . Total CPB time was 173 min. Perioperative parameters of hemolysis and cytotoxicity were not remarkably changed. Macroscopically and microscopically, there were no thrombi inside the pump after usage. This is the first reported case of clinical use of the Kyocera Gyro C1E3 pump.
