Dear Readers, Welcome to the sixth edition of the JEVTM! In 1866, the Great Russian surgeon and scientist Nikolai Pirogov wrote: “A new era for surgery will begin, if we can quickly and surely control the flow in a major artery without exploration and ligation”. This era has now arrived and it is called EVTM! Our mission has been to maximize the benefits of endovascular technologies for trauma and bleeding patients: from the first attempts of REBOA by Carl Hughes in the 1950s with hand-made aortic balloon occlusion catheters used in our department since the early 1990s to modern successful cases of out-of-hospital REBOA use in combat and civilian casualties for ruptured aneurysms, post-partum hemorrhage and trauma. In this edition, you will find articles related to a new strategy of damage control interventional radiology (DCIR), partial REBOA in elderly patients and in ruptured aortic aneurysms, thrombolysis for trauma-associated IVC thrombosis, simulation models for training of REBOA, contemporary utilization of Zone III REBOA and more. As a continuation of EVTM development, Russian surgeons, emergency physicians, anesthetists, and others will be involved in the world of EVTM, participating in expanding the horizons of trauma care and cultivating the endovascular mindset. Also published in this edition are some of the abstracts that will be presented at the EVTM conference in Russia, St. Petersburg (7/06/2019). More than 35 oral and 30 poster presentations will make this conference a scientific feast for our audience! By adopting these new techniques for bleeding management, we are following Pirogov’s motto – to achieve fast endovascular hemorrhage control – which can only be done as part of an interdisciplinary approach.   We look forward to seeing you in Saint Petersburg at the EVTM-Russia meeting! www.evtm.org

Endovascular Balloon Occlusion

The usage of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, also known as aortic balloon occlusion, is an emerging method for bleeding control as a bridge to definitive treatment in trauma management. We describe a trauma case where resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta was used as part of the EndoVascular hybrid Trauma and bleeding Management concept to facilitate transient hemorrhage control and thereby to permit damage control surgery. The case is an illustration of the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach.

Endovascular Balloon Occlusion

Abstract The use of intra-aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) could be effective in achieving the quick control of bleeding in emergency settings and in supporting the provision of safe radical treatment through resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). We herein report our experience of a patient with life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section who was successfully treated by hysterectomy with IABO without fluoroscopy. We believe that this procedure is very useful and safe, and that it should be considered as one of methods for controlling bleeding in patients with life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage.

Aortic Balloon Occlusion

Thoracic vascular trauma is associated with high mortality and is the second most common cause of death in patients with trauma following head injuries. Less than 25% of patients with a thoracic vascular injury arrive alive to the hospital and more than 50% of these die within the first 24 hours. Thoracic trauma with the involvement of the great vessels is a surgical challenge due to the complex and restricted anatomy of these structures and its association with adjacent organ damage. The aim of this article is to delineate the experience obtained in the surgical management of thoracic vascular injuries via the creation of a practical algorithm that includes basic principles of damage control surgery. We have been able to show that the early application of a resuscitative median sternotomy together with Zone I resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in hemodynamically unstable patients with thoracic outlet vascular injuries improves survival by providing rapid stabilization of central aortic pressure and serving as a bridge to hemorrhage control. Damage control surgery principles should also be implemented when indicated followed by definitive repair once the correction of the lethal diamond has been achieved. To this end, we have developed a six-step management algorithm that illustrates the surgical care of patients with thoracic outlet vascular injuries according to the American Association of the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) classification.

Endovascular Balloon Occlusion

BAAI is a rare but challenging traumatic lesion. Since BAAI is difficult to suspect and diagnose, frequently lethal and associated to multiorgan injuries, its management is objective of research and discussion. REBOA is an accepted practice in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Conversely, blunt aortic injuries are the currently most cited contraindications for the use of REBOA in trauma, together with thoracic lesions. We reported a case of BAAI safely managed in our Trauma Center at Maggiore Hospital in Bologna (Italy) utilizing REBOA as a bridge to endovascular repair, since there were no imminent indications for laparotomy. Despite formal contraindication to placing REBOA in aortic rupture, we hypothesized that this approach could be feasible and relatively safe when introduced in a resuscitative damage control protocol.

Abstract Background: Total aortic arch replacement (TAR) with frozen elephant trunk (FET) requires hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) for 20 minutes, which increases the surgical risk. We invented an aortic balloon occlusion technique that requires 5 minutes of HCA on average to perform TAR with FET and investigated the possible merit of this new method in this study. Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients who underwent TAR and FET (consisting of 130 cases of aortic balloon occlusion group and 230 cases of conventional group) in Fuwai Hospital between August 2017 and February 2019. In addition to the postoperative complications, the alterations of blood routine tests, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) during the in-hospital stay were also recorded. Results: The 30-day mortality rates were similar between the aortic balloon occlusion group (4.6%) and the conventional group (7.8%, P = 0.241). Multivariate analysis showed aortic balloon occlusion reduced postoperative acute kidney injury (23.1% vs 35.7%, P = 0.013) and hepatic injury (12.3% vs 27.8%, P = 0.001), and maintained similar cost to patients (25.5 vs 24.9 kUSD, P = 0.298). We also found that AST was high during intensive care unit (ICU) stay and recovered to normal before discharge, while ALT was not as high as AST in ICU but showed a rising tendency before discharge. The platelet count showed a rising tendency on postoperative day 3 and may exceed the preoperative value before discharge. Conclusions: The aortic balloon occlusion achieved the surgical goal of TAR with FET with an improved recovery process during the in-hospital stay.

Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock

Introduction: Fluid resuscitation (FR) and massive transfusion protocol (MTP) are important initial strategies for traumatic hemorrhagic shock cases. But poor responded patients to them are difficult to rescue. In such cases, open aortic cross clamping or intra-aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) would be performed as a temporary hemostasis treatment. Recently, IABO for severe trauma has been named resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). But it is still unclear which case can be rescued with REBOA. So we studied the relationship between the responsiveness to FR and REBOA. Methods: Consecutive 46 traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients underwent REBOA at our ER for last 86 months were included. All of their FAST were positive and done FR and MTP as a first-line resuscitation. 10Fr or 7Fr IABO devices were inserted at supraphrenic level (zone I) and underwent fundamental hemostasis by operative management (OM) and/or transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). They were sorted into responded group or non-responded group for REBOA. The primary end point was a recovery rate from the shock state within 48 hours. Secondary end points were a survival rate in 30th days and a rate of complications. Results: 26 transient or non-responded patients (Fluid Non-responder) responded for REBOA (REBOA Responder group). 20 Fluid Non-responders did not respond for REBOA (REBOA Non-responder group). There were no significant differences in ISS (REBOA Responder vs. Non-responder: 45.8+/-15.2 vs. 54.8+/-22.3), amount of total fluid (7187+/-5782ml vs. 6772+/-4851) and total blood transfusion (4816+/-3006ml vs. 5080+/-3330), required time to occlude after arriving ER (25.3+/-12.6min vs. 19.4+/-9.8) and total occlusion time (76.4+/-66.5min vs. 92.7+/-34.4). There was significant difference in the changes of systolic blood pressure before and after of REBOA (59.3+/-25.7mmHg vs. 38.3+/-39.4, p=0.04). A recovery rate from shock state was 65%(12/26) vs. 0%(0/20) (p<0.01) and a survival rate was 14/26(54%) vs. 0/20(0%) (p<0.01). One complication occurred in REBOA Responder group but was not lethal. Conclusions: It would be necessary to recognize that Fluid Non-responder but REBOA Responder with traumatic hemorrhagic shock could be possible to rescue.
