@entity2333 ( @entity2333 ) counterpulsation is a useful hemodynamic assist device during complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in @entity1 with poor left ventricular function; however, the presence of an @entity1028 poses a problem, because insertion via the femoral artery may cause @entity887 and @entity1756 . A 92-year-old @entity1 with unstable @entity951 was admitted to our hospital. Coronary angiography revealed @entity432 of the proximal left anterior descending artery and severe @entity850 of the left circumflex artery (LCX). The left ventricular ejection fraction was 36%. He also had an @entity1028 with a diameter of 55 mm. Supported PCI was performed for the management of the LCX lesion. A novel 6-Fr @entity2333 catheter was inserted via the left brachial artery. The lesion was successfully dilated, and a 3.0   13 mm Cypher   stent was placed. After the PCI procedure, the @entity2333 catheter was retrieved in the catheter laboratory, and the @entity1 was discharged after 7 days. When a femoral approach is contraindicated in PCI, 6-Fr @entity2333 catheter insertion via the brachial artery is feasible and effective.
