[The method of fixation of intra-aortic balloon catheter in the iliac artery without sheath introducer].
This paper showed the procedure of fixation of intra-aortic balloon without sheath. For this purpose, we found to use Implantaid Lead Introducer (peel away type). This introducer can be removed from balloon catheter after insertion into iliac artery. Consequently, the incidence of thromboembolism of iliac artery and complications such as myonephropathic metabolic syndrome may be decreased.
