A novel fluoroscopy-free, resuscitative endovascular aortic balloon occlusion system in a model of hemorrhagic shock

Abstract

This study reports the feasibility and efficacy of a novel, fluoroscopy-free REBOA system in a model of shock. Despite a significant physiologic insult, 60 minutes of REBOA is tolerated and recoverable. Development of lower profile, fluoroscopy-free endovascular balloon occlusion catheters may allow proactive aortic control in patients at risk for hemorrhagic shock and cardiovascular collapse.
