Abstract
Surgically implanted intraaortic balloon catheters have a substantial potential to cause hemorrhage on percutaneous removal. Because of the unacceptably high incidence of uncontrollable hemorrhage in patients in a life-threatening situation, a new percutaneous surgical modification allowing removal of these balloons with low blood loss has been devised and has proved highly successful in hemorrhage control.
