We present the successful utilization of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in a case of penetrating abdominal aortic injury. This allowed for hemorrhagic control and exposure of a large aortic defect at the level of the celiac access, which otherwise would have been diffi cult to control in an open fashion. Although use in this specifi c injury pattern in the literature is limited, REBOA can be a life-saving maneuver.
