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

fluoroscopy. This is called
resuscitative endovascular balloon

occlusion of the aorta (REBOA).
