Abstract

Background: ER-Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (ER-REBOA) is an adjunct tool to achieve hemostasis in trauma patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage. The development of the partial REBOA (pREBOA) allows for distal perfusion of organs while maintaining occlusion of the aorta. The primary aim of this study was to compare rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) in trauma patients who had placement of either a pREBOA or ER-REBOA. Methods: A retrospective chart review of adult trauma patients who underwent REBOA placement between September 2017 and February 2022 was performed. Baseline demographics, information on REBOA placement, and post-procedure complications including AKI, amputations, and mortality were recorded. Chi-squared and T-test analyses were performed with P < .05 considered to be significant. Results: A total of 68 patients met study inclusion criteria with 53 patients (77.9%) having an ER-REBOA. 6.7% of patients treated with pREBOA had a resulting AKI, while 40% of patients treated with ER-REBOA had a resulting AKI, and this difference was significant (P < .05). The rates of rhabdomyolysis, amputations, and mortality were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: The results from this case series suggest that patients treated with pREBOA have a significantly lower incidence of developing an AKI compared to ER-REBOA. There were no significant differences in rates of mortality, and amputations. Future prospective studies are needed to further characterize the indications and optimal use for pREBOA.
