Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) was used in five cases of severe gastrointestinal bleeding, providing temporary hemorrhage control and enabling additional hemostatic maneuvers. Systolic blood pressure increased post-REBOA placement, and three patients survived beyond 24 hours. Although all patients ultimately succumbed to hemorrhagic shock, REBOA proved effective as a bridging tool for resuscitation and definitive hemorrhage control in massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
