In 40 patients requiring intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation assistance, the IMPRA* brand expanded polytetrafluoroethylene microporous graft was anastomosed to the common femoral artery for insertion of the balloon catheter. We feel that certain properties of this material make it very suitable for use in this clinical setting.
