Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of temporary cross-clamping of the infrarenal abdominal aorta for controlling operative blood loss during cesarean hysterectomy in severe invasive placentation.
Case Report: A 35-year-old woman with a significant risk factor of four previous cesarean sections and placenta previa was referred to Taichung Veterans General Hospital with suspected abnormal placentation at 37 weeks of gestation. Obstetric ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a bulky inhomogeneous placenta with extensive uterine serosa-bladder interface hypervascularity and suspicious focal bladder invasion. Cesarean hysterectomy was performed with the use of temporary cross-clamping of the infrarenal abdominal aorta. The duration of aortic cross-clamping was 1 hour, and the estimated blood loss was 2,000 mL. The patient was discharged home on postoperative day 11 with no postoperative sequelae.
Conclusion: With this limited experience, we are encouraged by the apparent reduction in operative blood loss after the use of temporary cross-clamping of the infrarenal abdominal aorta during cesarean hysterectomy. Further investigation is needed to determine the efficacy and safety of this procedure.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Article Synopsis
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers temporary support for patients with severe trauma, and this study examines the outcomes of patients treated with veno-arterial ECMO (V-A ECMO) in Japan between 2019 and 2021.
- Out of 72,439 severe trauma patients, only 51 received V-A ECMO, with a discharge survival rate of 31.3%.
- The findings suggest that V-A ECMO may be beneficial in severe trauma cases, particularly where traditional interventions aren't effective, but further research is needed to clarify its indications.
Elective open repair with the debranch, perfuse, reconstruct technique to treat suprarenal or type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Background: Open surgical repair of suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (SRAAA) and type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) remains a surgical challenge because of the inducted intraoperative visceral and renal ischemia. We report a novel three-step technique named debranch, perfuse, reconstruct (DPR), using debranching and passive arterial shunt to decrease these ischemic complications. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the 30-day and 1-year mortality rates associated with these DPR technique.

Hemorrhage is among the leading causes of death for trauma patients. Adjunct techniques used to control bleeding include use of aortic cross clamping, application of a pelvic binder, rapidly expanding hemostatic sponges, and extra-peritoneal packing. Additionally, Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) can provide life-saving proximal control for patients with massive internal hemorrhage.

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) poses a significant challenge for physicians, necessitating the management of cell damage and the preservation of organ functions. Various surgical procedures, such as vascular surgery on extremities, temporary cross-clamping of the abdominal aorta in aortic surgery, and the use of a tourniquet in extremity surgeries, may induce lower limb IRI. The susceptibility to IRI is heightened in individuals with diabetes.
