Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a viable technique for management of noncompressible torso hemorrhage. The major limitation of the current unilobed fully occlusive REBOA catheters is below-the-balloon ischemia-reperfusion complications. We hypothesized that partial aortic occlusion with a novel bilobed partial (p)REBOA-PRO would result in the need for less intraaortic balloon adjustments to maintain a distal goal perfusion pressure as compared with currently available unilobed ER-REBOA.
