Abstract
Noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) remains a high mortality injury, and it is often impossible to mobilize resources before exsanguination. We have reported on a retrievable stent graft for damage control and human morphometric analysis; yet, the gold standard of fluoroscopy for device placement is impractical for the austere environment. We hypothesized that a magnetic sensor could be used to position stent grafts relative to an external magnet placed on an anatomic landmark in the austere environment when fluoroscopy is not immediately available.
