Let’s say somebody is getting a heart transplant, how do they keep the blood circulating in the body and spilling everywhere?

Turns out modern technology has come up with pumps that can circulate blood without using the heart. In fact they made “heart lung machines” which can actually oxygenate the blood as well, replicating the function of the lungs for a while. They would tap into major arteries and veins on either side of the heart to intercept the blood before operating on the heart itself.
