why didn’t you prefer suturing instead of ballon tamponade?

it is possible that if this stab wound was sutured instead of a balloon occlusion because if it were sutured, there would still be small openings on the wound and blood could leak out during systole(contracting of the heart). with a balloon in place, it is almost guarenteed that the wound will be sealed off better and there will be less of a chance of hypovolemia thus redusing the possible outcome of a hemothorax causing further complications.
