Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Surgical Approach
A 31-year-old woman from Kenya presented at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi, with occasional back and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with Takayasu’s arteritis, a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA), and anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) positivity. Her condition, complicated by the use of immunosuppressants and anticoagulants, posed significant medical challenges, particularly the high risk of aortic rupture. A multidisciplinary team optimized her care, addressing both her autoimmune disease and medication needs. The complex surgical repair of her TAAA was performed using a unique technique developed by Dr. Niranjan Hiremath, with support from Dr. B N Das, showcasing the hospital's expertise in managing high-risk aortic diseases. This case highlights the importance of innovative approaches and collaborative care in achieving successful outcomes for complex conditions.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
