Accepted for publication March 24, 1997.

Transaortic balloon catheter insertion is an effective method to provide aortic counterpulsation when the conventional retrograde femoral route cannot be used, usually due to severe aortoiliac disease. A simple technique is described to achieve correct transthoracic intraaortic balloon pump catheter insertion and positioning without the need for special equipment.
