• Most preventable deaths from trauma are
a consequence of untreated hemorrhage
– Early = Exsanguination (80% in hospital)
– Late = Multiorgan failure & secondary TBI
• Initial therapy:
– Diagnosing the site of hemorrhage
– Treating the site of hemorrhage
– Resuscitation

trauma deaths
Journal of Trauma, 2007
Many patients with vascular injuries will
present with exsanguinating hemorrhage,
and are best treated by expeditious
laparotomy, formal vascular exploration
and definitive repair
Disclaimer !
Minimally invasive endovascular
techniques to arrest hemorrhage
• Block bleeding vessels / organs
– Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE)
– Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion
(REBOA)
• Realign blood vessels
– Stent grafting

• Common femoral artery access
• 10 or 11-Fr sheath
• 20-mm Berenstein latex balloon
• Inserted to 50 cm
• Slow inflation (sterile water) with
continuous motion until friction detected
• Pull balloon back until wedged in aortic
bifurcation
• Final 5 cm advancement
• Confirm placement with absent femoral
pulses bilaterally

• Experience divided into 2 periods (93-95 vs. 00-02)
• More frequent use of therapeutic IR
– Fewer arch angiograms (< 50%)
– Fewer extremity angiograms (< 50%)
• Pelvic & hepatic injuries*
• Transferring more hemodynamically unstable patients to
the IR suite
• Using trauma IR prior to damage control surgery (23%)
• Using trauma IR after damage control surgery

Multi-disciplinary approaches to complex
hemorrhage: Example pelvic fractures
• Up to 70% of emergency on-call angiography
occurs in an “out-of-hours” time frame
• Less than 15% of pelvic angiography is
performed within 90 minutes of arrival
• Scenarios demand cognitive changes in the
priority and urgency of care

When to RAPTOR?
Confirmed or highly suspected intra-
cavitary source of shock
• Evaluated all patients with a single
sBP<90mmHg (prehospital or trauma bay)
• 510 (56%) remained hypotensive
• Destinations:
– OR = 53% (89% = laparotomy)
– ICU = 29%
– Ward = 13%
– Angiography suite = 5%

– Pelvic fractures = 77%
– Liver lacerations = 20%
• 71% proceeded to IR first
– Mortality = 32%
• 29% proceeded to OR first
– Mortality = 90%
• 89% of deaths due to exsanguination
• liver (4), pelvis (3), both (1)
How many need a RAPTOR?
• Upon detailed review:
– CLEARLY benefited = 23 patients
– 6% of all persistently hypotensive patients…
– 3.5% of all patients with a sBP<90mmHg…
• 6% of patients = 6 MILLION dollars
• 1 Million dollars per % patient, over 17 years

• “Direct to the RAPTOR”:

– 42% overtriage rate with sustained sBP<90mmHg
And….What are your triggers ?

• Overall historical mortality (requiring hybrid) = 49%
• Overall mortality in Pre-RAPTOR era = 42%
• Mortality of unstable patients in RAPTOR era =22%
• Mortality of unstable non-EVAR patients = 16%
• 18% requiring emergent intervention / 1% patients
