Transition of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta from Zone 3 to Zone 1 to Treat Hemodynamic Collapse during Continued Hemorrhage.

In this swine model of NCTH, hemodynamics and survival were improved when the REBOA balloon was transitioned from zone 3 to zone 1 during an impending cardiovascular collapse. Furthermore, these improved outcome data support the pursuit of additional research into mitigating ischemia-reperfusion insult to the abdominal viscera while still providing excellent resuscitative support, such as intermittent or partial REBOA.
