Endovascular aortic occlusion improves return of spontaneous circulation after longer periods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A translational study in pigs

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has emerged as an adjunct to CPR for nontraumatic cardiac arrest (NTCA). This translational study investigated the impact of varying low-flow duration (15- vs 30-mins) on REBOA's hemodynamic performance and ability to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in a porcine model.
