Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta versus resuscitative thoracotomy in traumatic non-compressible torso hemorrhage: A structured narrative systematic review.
BACKGROUND Non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is a leading cause of preventable trauma death. Resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) has served as salvage intervention, while resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has emerged as a less invasive alternative, though evidence remains discordant....
