Abstract

The management of trauma and emergency procedures (i.e., aneurysm repair, visceral and pelvic bleeding, and others) has undergone considerable changes due to the presence of new endovascular and mini-invasive approaches, which have supplanted the surgical approach in some cases. The use of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) has been largely used to manage trauma patients, but it is, nowadays, increasingly also being used for other types of bleeding, such as vascular emergencies, post-partum hemorrhages, and gastrointestinal and iatrogenic or spontaneous bleeding. We present a case of an unexpected hemorrhagic shock in a patient with a locally advanced cervix neoplasm involving sacrum and pelvic vessels, where we used a REBOA to manage an intraprocedural massive bleed due to the rupture of the descending branch of the right hypogastric artery.
