REBOA for proximal aortic control in severe hemorrhage and arrest
JAMA Surgery Nov 05, 2017
Brenner M, et al. - In this study, authors described the largest single-institution experience till date assessing the feasibility of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) for proximal aortic control. In both traumatic and nontraumatic causes of hemorrhage, REBOA was a minimally invasive alternative to emergency department thoracotomy with aortic cross-clamp to temporize noncompressible torso hemorrhage and obtain proximal control. In addition, REBOA can be used for more targeted aortic occlusion in the distal aorta for pelvic, junctional, or extremity hemorrhage.
