Background Aortic Balloon Occlusion or Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) for hemorrhage control during endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a technique that has been used for decades for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). This usually requires bilateral femoral access, however, when only single-sided vascular access can be obtained this complicates the procedure if these techniques are to be used. We present two cases of single-sided vascular access, recently performed at our institution, using simultaneous REBOA and aortic stent-graft placement during EVAR in rAAA.   Methods and Results This is a description of two clinical cases where REBOA and EVAR were performed through single-sided vascular access for the treatment of rAAA at Örebro University Hospital between March 2018 and June 2018.   Conclusion This case report demonstrates that despite the limitation of single-sided access, an aortic stent-graft can be placed for treatment of a rAAA during continuous aortic occlusion with REBOA, facilitated by using a multidisciplinary EVTM team approach.

Abstract. The management of vascular emergencies is dependent on rapid identification and confirmation of the diagnosis with concurrent patient stabilization prior to immediate transfer to the operating suite. A variety of technological advances in diagnostic imaging as well as the advent of minimally invasive endovascular interventions have shifted the contemporary treatment algorithms of such pathologies. This review provides a comprehensive discussion on the current state and future trends in the management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms as well as acute aortic dissections.
