Abstract
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.
