A contemporary assessment of devices for Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA): resource-specific options per level of care

ConclusionIn resource-limited settings, a guidewire- and fluoroscopy-free, rather stiff device, such as ER-REBOA ™, Fogarty®, and LeMaitre®, is warranted. Of these devices, ER-REBOA ™ is the only catheter compatible with seven French sheaths and specifically designed for emergency hemorrhage control. Of the over-the-wire devices, Q50® has several features that facilitate use and reduce the risk of malplacement or vessel damage.
