Answer:

The roller pump, and the method of correcting aortic aneurysms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1932 DeBakey devised the “roller pump,” an essential component of the heart-lung machine that permitted open-heart surgery. He also developed an efficient method of correcting aortic aneurysms by grafting frozen blood vessels to replace diseased vessels.
