Abstract

Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is a minimally invasive alternative to emergency department thoracotomy with aortic cross-clamp to temporize noncompressible torso hemorrhage and obtain proximal control in both traumatic and nontraumatic causes of hemorrhage. REBOA can also be used for more targeted aortic occlusion (AO) in the distal aorta for pelvic, junctional, or extremity hemorrhage.
