The use of vein allografts as sidearms for intraaortic balloon insertion

AF Ortiz Jr, SB Lukban, RA Jurado and RS Litwak

Femoral artery cannulation for intraaortic balloon counterpulsation may be attended by difficulties due to changes in the vessel wall and the inherent stiffness of Dacron grafts. A substitute technique utilizing venous allografts is described. The advantages are enumerated and are related to allograft pliability. Fifty-nine such procedures have been done without related complications.
