Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in haemodynamically unstable patients with bleeding (webinar review)

Abstract

This article reviews a webinar of the European Society for Vascular Surgery and the Endovascular Trauma and Resuscitation Management Society, dedicated to using endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in haemodynamically unstable patients, briefly covering the main conclusions of the reports and underlining prospects of this method. Possibilities of using aortic balloon occlusion arise interest of various-specialty medical experts, and the number of scientific works in this field has increasingly been growing, thus explaining the need for measures and studies on the subject concerned.
