Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta deployed by acute care surgeons in patients with morbidly adherent placenta: a feasible solution for two lives in peril

Abstract: Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP), which includes accreta, increta, and percreta, is a condition characterized by the invasion of the uterine wall by placental tissue. The condition is associated with higher odds of massive post-partum hemorrhage. Several interventions have been developed to improve hemorrhage-related outcomes in these patients; however, there is no evidence to prefer any intervention over another. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is an endovascular intervention… Show more

“…REBOA is a minimally invasive procedure that introduces a balloon occlusion catheter via a percutaneous groin puncture or cutdown of the femoral artery into the aorta to obtain endovascular aortic occlusion [13,14] . REBOA has been used clinically for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm and related obstetric diseases [15,16] , but now it has been widely used for the hemostatic treatment of bleeding at NCTH.…”

“…Trauma and vascular surgeons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], emergency physicians [23,24] and prehospital providers [25,26] are using REBOA with increasing frequency. It is being deployed in both trauma patients as well as those with intraabdominal hemorrhage of non-traumatic etiology [27][28][29][30][31][32]. Although the technical process of placing a REBOA catheter in a patient is straightforward, multiple factors must be in place to ensure a given institution is wellequipped to best utilize the technology.…”
