The AT-REBOA Target Trial

Completed

• Conditions: Hemorrhage; Shock, Traumatic; Cardiac Arrest Due to Trauma; Polytrauma

• Registration Number: NCT06312436
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Graz

Brief Summary

Temporary aortic occlusion can limit haemorrhage, can help to maintain perfusion to the heart and brain, and may be associated with improved survival. Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) potentially provides a relatively quick means of achieving this temporary control.

In the past years, studies have tried to evaluate the benefit for this method with conflicting results. The previous UK-REBOA trial has not found any benefit in the intervention group and has even hinted at possible harm caused by the intervention. A major limitation of this study is the low number of interventions performed in participating trauma centres and the associated potentially insufficient experience with REBOA.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of REBOA in a setting with already experienced providers.
