Accepted for publication April 12, 1996.

The percutaneous left ventricular assist system, using modified Dennis technique, has been used successfully to treat patients experiencing severe cardiogenic shock in a variety of nonsurgical situations. Fluoroscopy is generally essential for implantation. Our experience with the implantation of the percutaneous left ventricular assist system during operations is described here. The percutaneous left ventricular assist system was applied using transesophageal echocardiographic imaging and by leading with the index finger through the right atrium without fluoroscopy.
