Abstract

Recently there has been a lot of attention on Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) for non-compressible torso hemorrhage and resuscitation in trauma [1][2][3]. This is not the first time that endovascular techniques have been explored for acute trauma care, but REBOA has been the first widely accepted endovascular acute trauma intervention. The excitement over REBOA has opened the door to further discussion regarding other uses of endovascular intervention in trauma patients. Here the techniques used in trauma settings and some of the reported experiences are reviewed.

AbstractJust as minimally invasive surgical techniques have flourished in general surgery, so too have less invasive techniques become more widespread in vascular surgery. Endovascular techniques are now first-line treatment for many vascular pathologies. Endovascular techniques have been more slowly adopted for vascular injury in trauma surgery, but the trend is starting to change, largely due to the advent of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta.
