Partial REBOA may offer advantages over complete aortic occlusion, but extending occlusion time raises important questions about patient selection, transport, monitoring and delays to definitive hemorrhage control. This article examines why stronger human evidence is needed before prolonged partial REBOA becomes routine practice.
Aortic occlusion has traditionally been viewed as a rescue intervention for severe hemorrhage. New evidence suggests low-profile systems may support a broader role, helping clinicians proactively manage predictable bleeding in selected surgical and trauma cases.
