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.
