During emergency EVAR, an

intra-aortic occlusive balloon

in the descending thoracic or

suprarenal aorta can sometimes

be used in patients with very low
blood pressure, to allow the

anesthetists to adequately

resuscitate the patient. The
balloon may be placed and

inflated under direct fluoscopy.

This is called resuscitative
endovascular balloon occlusion of

the aorta (REBOA).
