| Popis: | A technique is described that allows insertion of a standard percutaneous intraaortic balloon without use of the larger 12F sheath. Standard 9.5-cm. Percor balloons were inserted in a series of patients without using the provided sheath. Elimination of the sheath reduced the potential vascular complications related to the extra bulk placed in the femoral artery by the sheath. No serious complications were noted in more than 25 patients. |
