Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta for retroperitoneal hemorrhage and shock after ipsilateral antegrade angioplasty with vascular closure device.

Percutaneous intervention is widely used to treat peripheral vascular disease. Ipsilateral antegrade femoral arterial access for femoropopliteal disease provides a mechanical advantage with regard to wire and stent control; however, it is associated with vascular complications and significant morbidity and mortality secondary to retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a high puncture site or vascular closure device (VCD) failure. Currently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is performed as damage control surgery in patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage. We describe a patient with hemorrhagic shock secondary to VCD failure, who was successfully treated by REBOA as damage control surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the English literature of successful REBOA in a patient with hemorrhagic shock secondary to VCD failure.
