Abstract Background Hemodynamic instability due to torso hemorrhage can be managed with the assistance of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). This is a report of a single-center experience using the ER-REBOA™ catheter for traumatic and non-traumatic cases as an adjunct to hemorrhage control and as part of the EndoVascular resuscitation and Trauma Management (EVTM) concept. The objective of this report is to describe the clinical usage, technical success, results, complications and outcomes of the ER-REBOA™ catheter at Örebro University hospital, a middle-sized university hospital in Europe. Methods Data concerning patients receiving the ER-REBOA™ catheter for any type of hemorrhagic shock and hemodynamic instability at Örebro University hospital in Sweden were collected prospectively from October 2015 to May 2020. Results A total of 24 patients received the ER-REBOA™ catheter (with the intention to use) for traumatic and non-traumatic hemodynamic control; it was used in 22 patients. REBOA was performed or supervised by vascular surgeons using 7–8 Fr sheaths with an anatomic landmark or ultrasound guidance. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased significantly from 50 mmHg (0–63) to 95 mmHg (70–121) post REBOA. In this cohort, distal embolization and balloon rupture due to atherosclerosis were reported in one patient and two patients developed renal failure. There were no cases of balloon migration. Overall 30-day survival was 59%, with 45% for trauma patients and 73% for non-traumatic patients. Responders to REBOA had a significantly lower rate of mortality at both 24 h and 30 days. Conclusions Our clinical data and experience show that the ER-REBOA™ catheter can be used for control of hemodynamic instability and to significantly increase SBP in both traumatic and non-traumatic cases, with relatively few complications. Responders to REBOA have a significantly lower rate of mortality.

Single Center Experience

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze a ten-year single center experience in liver transplantation in Pernambuco - Northeastern region of Brazil. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from medical records of 302 patients who underwent Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT) between 1998 and 2008 at Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, Pernambuco – Brazil. We analyzed just the outcomes and survival curve of 195 adult liver transplantation recipients from deceased donor. Results: Data concern liver donor, surgery technical aspects and liver transplantation recipients’ postoperative evolution are presented and discussed. This center has a significant experience in liver transplantation using conventional technique with no venovenous bypass. Efficient management of liver transplantation practice has made it feasible to keep the cold ischemia time within 6-7 hours. Because of the organ shortage, we have used a large amount of extended criteria liver donor. The survival 1-year rata was 76.4%. Conclusion: It is possible to provide a high-quality public medical assistance in an efficient and continuous manner in less developed areas of Brazil.

Uterine Body

Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) is a safe and fast minimally invasive approach in hysterectomy. In order to extract the uterine body from the abdominal cavity, one condition for LASH is the morcellation of the tissue. The intra-abdominal dissemination of benign and occult malignant uterine cells is a possible risk of this method, which can be avoided by the use of special bags for laparoscopic in-bag morcellation. We present a case of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with in-bag morcellation in a uterus of more than 1400 g. and describe that this minimal-access surgery is safe and feasible even in very large uteri. This case report is registered in Research Registry under the UIN researchregistry1810.
