INTRODUCTION: Tranexamic acid (TXA) use has been associated with thrombotic complications. OBJECTIVE: We aim to investigate outcomes associated with TXA use in the setting of high- (HP) and low-profile (LP) introducer sheaths for resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). PARTICIPANTS: The Aortic Occlusion and Resuscitation for Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (AORTA) database was queried for patients who underwent REBOA using a low-profile 7 French (LP) or high-profile, 11-14 French (HP) introducer sheaths between 2013 and 2022. Demographics, physiology, and outcomes were examined for patients who survived beyond the index operation. RESULTS: 574 patients underwent REBOA (503 LP, 71 HP); 77% were male, mean age was 44 ± 19 and mean injury severity score (ISS) was 35 ± 16. 212 patients received TXA (181 [36%] LP, 31 [43.7%] HP). There were no significant differences in admission vital signs, GCS, age, ISS, SBP at AO, CPR at AO, and duration of AO among LP and HP patients. Overall, mortality was significantly higher in the HP (67.6%) vs the LP group (54.9%; P = .043). Distal embolism was significantly higher in the HP group (20.4%) vs the LP group (3.9%; P < .001). Logistic regression demonstrated that TXA use was associated with a higher rate of distal embolism in both groups (OR = 2.92; P = .021). 2 LP patients (one who received TXA) required an amputation. CONCLUSION: Patients who undergo REBOA are profoundly injured and physiologically devastated. Tranexamic acid was associated with a higher rate of distal embolism in those who received REBOA, regardless of access sheath size. For patients receiving TXA, REBOA placement should be accompanied by strict protocols for immediate diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic complications.
