This era has now arrived and it is called EVTM! Our mission has been to maximize the benefits of endovascular technologies for trauma and bleeding patients: from the first attempts of REBOA by Carl Hughes in the 1950s with hand-made aortic balloon occlusion catheters used in our department since the early 1990s to modern successful cases of out-of-hospital REBOA use in combat and civilian casualties for ruptured aneurysms, post-partum hemorrhage and trauma. \u0000In this edition, you will find articles related to a new strategy of damage control interventional radiology (DCIR), partial REBOA in elderly patients and in ruptured aortic aneurysms, thrombolysis for trauma-associated IVC thrombosis, simulation models for training of REBOA, contemporary utilization of Zone III REBOA and more. \u0000As a continuation of EVTM development, Russian surgeons, emergency physicians, anesthetists, and others will be involved in the world of EVTM, participating in expanding the horizons of trauma care and cultivating the endovascular mindset. Also published in this edition are some of the abstracts that will be presented at the EVTM conference in Russia, St. Petersburg (7/06/2019). More than 35 oral and 30 poster presentations will make this conference a scientific feast for our audience! By adopting these new techniques for bleeding management, we are following Pirogov’s motto – to achieve fast endovascular hemorrhage control – which can only be done as part of an interdisciplinary approach. \u0000 \u0000We look forward to seeing you in Saint Petersburg at the EVTM-Russia meeting! \u0000www.evtm.org","PeriodicalId":41233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of EndoVascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49086372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arrival clinical signs were coma and hypotension, lowest SBP was 50 mmHg. Primary survey found unstable pelvic fracture and severe head injury. We did REBOA at Zone I via left common femoral artery which aim to do partial balloon technique by inflation with 15-18 mL and arterial line monitoring for goal SBP around 100-120 mmHg due to his extreme age and associated traumatic brain injury. After CT scan showed no intra-abdominal injury, we did reposition the balloon to zone III under fluoroscopy. Unexpectedly, during deflation the balloon before removal, we found fresh blood through the balloon port, then ruptured balloon was suspected and confirmed with aortography. We immediately converted to remove by open technique due to balloon was failed to shrinkage through 7-Fr sheath. We reviewed the CT scan was shown calcified plaque along aorta and arteries which could be the cause of ruptured balloon.

Different techniques are described for hemostasis in cases which require surgery. Several commercial hemostatic agents are readily available and can be used as an adjunct after the repair of the liver injuries. One of the most well-known local agents is gelfoam, which is used in multiple fields of surgery. The aim of this work is to present a very rare complication while using gelfoam, mimicking gossipiboma. \u0000Design: A case study describing a hemodynamically unstable patient who suffered from a penetrating liver injury. Hemostasis was achieved by liver suture and Gelfoam with subsequent angioembolization. In the post-operative period, the patient demonstrated signs of intraabdominal sepsis due to liver abscess. Repeated attempts of percutaneous drainage failed, and all cultures were negative. Due to a strong suspicion of a forgotten abdominal pad (gossipiboma), the patient was operated on and the object was removed. The final pathological report showed no textile in the specimen, the findings were compatible with a piece of gelfoam without any signs of absorption. \u0000Discussion and Conclusions: Commonly used hemostatic agents are made of gelatin gelfoams, microfibrillar collagen, thrombin, and fibrin sealant. Gelfoam is available in sponge or powder form. The sponge can be left in place and is supposed to be completely absorbed in four to six weeks. We found in the relevant literature only one case of gelfoam use related to granuloma formation. In our case, the radiologic findings in the liver were interpreted as an abscess. The suspicion of a foreign body was raised only during his second admission and thus forced us to operate. There is no clear reason why the piece of gelfoam wasn’t absorbed in that time period. Our assumption is that post angiography liver ischemia may have disturbed the process of fibrin destruction. The possibility of such condition should be considered when liver angioembolization is performed adjunct to surgical hemostasis using gelfoam.","PeriodicalId":41233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of EndoVascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43368201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the popularity of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been growing, the use of the EVTM or CT imaging is still limited in hemodynamically unstable patients. To overcome the current limitations, the Hybrid Emergency Room System (HERS) was introduced in 2011. HERS consists of an operating table with an angiographic C-arm and a sliding CT scanner system in the resuscitation area, which allows all emergency diagnostic and therapeutic interventions without relocating the patient. This paper deals with current limitations of EVTM and proposes solutions with HERS. \u0000In the HERS environment, patients can undergo IR in the resuscitation room, which may expand the indications of IR to include hemodynamically unstable patients. HERS can also reduce CT scanning time to identify unexpected injuries or traumatic brain injury. It also allows prompt neurosurgical intervention simultaneously with haemorrhage control. REBOA is a viable adjunct treatment for refractory haemorrhagic shock but its procedure-related complications must be considered. REBOA can be performed more safely, rapidly, and accurately in HERS, followed by immediate definitive haemostasis. In addition, HERS may safely extend the application of REBOA-CT to identify accurate injury site. \u0000HERS may be an ideal EVTM solution for the trinity of surgery, endovascular treatment, and imaging in trauma care. We will continue to explore the most radical and safest EVTM in the HERS environment.","PeriodicalId":41233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of EndoVascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47109747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
