Evaluation of Endografts in the Setting of Noncompressible Torso Hemorrhage in Swine (Sus Scrofa)

Abstract

The most difficult injuries to manage in austere condition are those labeled as noncompressible torso hemorrhages. The use of endografts have been described for thoracic and abdominal aortic injuries. A quickly deployable endograft may be a lifesaving maneuver in injuries that may otherwise yield a preventable death. This protocol assessed the feasibility of utilizing newer endograft technology that has not been used to repair traumatic injury to seal a large non-compressible arterial injury.
