Abstract

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a percutaneous transfemoral balloon technique used in select centers for resuscitation and temporary hemostasis of bleeding patients. Several animal studies demonstrated that its application in non-traumatic cardiac arrest could enhance cerebral and coronary perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); despite this, there are few reports of its application in humans. This is a case report of REBOA application during a refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a 50-year-old man where Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) alone was unable to maintain a stable return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and Extracorporeal Cardiac Life Support (ECLS) was not available.
