Intermittent thoracic resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta improves renal function compared to 60  min continuous application after porcine class III hemorrhage

ConclusioniREBOA was survivable, did not cause rebleeding, decreased the total ischemic time and increased the renal blood flow, urine output and decreased renal ischemic injury compared to cREBOA. Intermittent reperfusions during REBOA may be preferred to be continuous, complete occlusion in prolonged application to improve renal function.
