Life over limb: Arterial access-related limb ischemic complications in 48-hour REBOA survivors

CONCLUSION Femoral artery REBOA access carries a risk of ARLIC, which is associated with unstable pelvis fractures, severe shock, and strongly with the administration of TXA. Use of lower-profile devices and close surveillance for these complications is warranted in these settings and caution should be exercised when using TXA in conjunction with REBOA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiologic, Level III
