Objective: Induced hypothermia improves outcome in aortic arch surgery, neonatal neurointensive care, and transplant surgery for example. In contrast, spontaneous hypothermia has been associated with worse outcomes in patients suffering from hemorrhagic shock, mostly explained by its adverse effects on the coagulation system. We investigated if induced hypothermia would impair short-term survival in experimental aortic rupture with retroperitoneal bleeding.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the primary and assisted secondary percutaneous and non-invasive technical success of the ProGlide device on all-comers in a consecutive case series of percutaneous endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (P-EVAR).
Method: A single-center consecutive case series where 434 elective and acute P-EVAR procedures were registered prospectively between May 2011 and July 2017. The mean age was 74.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a safe and effective animal model to simulate retroperitoneal bleeding due to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) for better understanding and research.
- In anesthetized pigs, a controlled aortic injury was performed using an Outback re-entry catheter, with varying hole sizes (4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm) to observe survival and physiological responses.
- Results showed that pigs with the 4 mm injury had better survival rates compared to larger injuries, while the larger holes caused significant drops in blood pressure and other critical markers, validating the model's effectiveness for future studies.
Article Synopsis
- EndoVascular and Hybrid Trauma Management (EVTM) has been introduced for severe pelvic ring injuries, employing techniques like Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) to manage hemorrhage, though data on its effectiveness is limited.
- A study of 72 trauma patients with severe pelvic injuries found that most had blunt traumas, with traffic accidents being the most common cause, and REBOA was primarily used in the highest zone of aortic occlusion (zone 1).
- The overall mortality rate was noted to be 54.2%, with early mortality at 44.4%, influenced by various factors such as pH levels and blood pressure, although these
Background: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) may improve Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) in hypovolemic shock. It has, however, not been studied in patients with impending traumatic cardiac arrest (ITCA). We aimed to study the feasibility and clinical outcome of REBOA in patients with ITCA using data from the ABOTrauma Registry.
