Background |
A lower profile, FDA-approved device for aortic occlusion (AO) is available for REBOA.
Methods |
Patients who received AO with the new device from February 2016 to February 2017 at 2 urban tertiary care centers were enrolled.
Results |
60 consecutive patients underwent REBOA; 44 (73.3%) following blunt trauma. 52 (88.1%) were male; mean age of 40 ± 18 years. 49 REBOAs were deployed in Zone 1, 11 in Zone 3.67.7% of patients in arrest achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Overall in-hospital survival was 43%; 19% for patients in arrest and 69% for patients with refractory hypotension. Access and vascular procedural complications included iliac intimal injury requiring stent-graft (1), patch angioplasty of the CFA (1), and balloon ruptures (3). 5 amputations were required; 2 immediate completion amputations due to initial injury, and 3 delayed amputations after efforts to salvage severely mangled extremities were unsuccessful.
Conclusion |
Smaller introducer sheaths for REBOA are safe and effective but do not eliminate the need for surgical common femoral artery access. Patients can benefit from REBOA with acceptable survival rates.
