Abstract
A balloon angioplasty catheter was used to dilate the femoral vein puncture site before placement of a Greenfield vena caval filter in nine patients. Compared with the conventional use of serial coaxial dilators, this technique expedites filter placement with minimal trauma and bleeding at the puncture site.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
