Non surgical therapies for valve repairs and replacements
Non-surgical therapies for valve repairs and replacements offer alternative options to traditional open-heart surgery for patients with heart valve disorders. TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that involves replacing a narrowed aortic valve with a bioprosthetic valve via a catheter. It's often suitable for high-risk or inoperable patients. TMVR involves repairing a leaking mitral valve using catheter-based techniques like the MitraClip. It's an option for select patients with mitral regurgitation. Annuloplasty rings are used to reshape and support the mitral valve through minimally invasive approaches, preserving valve function .Artificial chords are inserted through minimally invasive procedures to correct mitral valve prolapse, improving valve function.

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.
