Abstract
Vascular control of the injured retrohepatic vena cava is invariably a surgical challenge. Herein, we describe the technical aspects of inserting a vena cava balloon shunt through the saphenofemoral junction. The advantages of this approach include relative simplicity, maintenance of perihepatic tamponade, and avoiding emergent thoracotomy in the critically injured patient.Entities:
