Summary

Aortic occlusion (AO) for trauma has traditionally been accomplished by supra-diaphragmatic clamping of the descending thoracic aorta via emergent thoracotomy or as an initial step during laparotomy.

Detailed description

An evolution in endovascular technologies, however, has provided additional means by which to achieve AO. Expanding experience with the utilization of balloon occlusion in the setting of abdominal aortic rupture due to chronic vascular disease has demonstrated the potential of these new technologies. Discussion of the employment of endovascular AO in the realm of trauma has led to the description of this approach and the demonstration of its effectiveness in animal models of severe hemorrhage. The purpose of the present study is to prospectively examine the modern utilization of AO in the acute resuscitation of trauma and acute care surgery patients in shock.
