Non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is the leading cause of potentially preventable death on the battlefield. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) aims to restore central blood pressure and control NCTH below the balloon, but risks ischemia-reperfusion injury to distal organs when prolonged. We tested a bilobed partial REBOA catheter (pREBOA), which permits some of the blood to flow past the balloon.
