    AbstractA 75-year-old pedestrian was struck by a truck and in shock with both lower extremities significantly deformed, with injuries extending proximally to the inguinal region and degloving injuries. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta was performed to achieve temporary hemostasis and the patient became hemodynamically stable. Following stabilization, both lower extremities were amputated. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta may be effective to achieve temporary hemostasis in patients with extensive injuries of the lower extremities, especially with extension to the inguinal region which precludes use of a tourniquet.
