A surgical cut-down may be necessary when an emergency intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation catheter insertion has to be performed. Closure requires reopening the wound to extract the catheter and close the arteriotomy, or a graft has to be presutured to allow simple ligation. These methods are cumbersome. A method permitting rapid surgical access and easy removal in an intensive care unit is highly desirable. Such an insertion technique that, after insertion, includes placement of transcutaneous hemostatic purse-string sutures was evaluated.
