Abstract
A simple, percutaneous technique is described allowing the introduction of the Mobin-Uddin cava umbrella via the femoral vein. Only minor modifications of the original commercially available device are necessary. On the basis of animal and cadaver studies, the right femoral vein was chosen as a feasible introduction site. Postcatheterization hemorrhage was not a problem with this technique which is contemplated for human use.
