PY - 2024 T2 - Vascular and Endovascular Surgery: Clinical Diagnosis and Management AB - Uncontrolled hemorrhage remains the leading cause of preventable death in most military and civilian trauma patients that present to the hospital.1,2 ATLS (advanced trauma life support) dictates immediate control of hemorrhage as one of the most important aspect of management. Direct pressure and tourniquet-based proximal control can suffice to obtain extremity hemostasis, but a significant proportion of patients with torso injuries have noncompressible hemorrhage. Effective operative management for these patients includes aortic occlusion by either resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) and resuscitative thoracotomy with aortic cross clamping.
